Description
This book is the first of an autobiographical trilogy by Denis Lawrence. He describes his many experiences and adventures growing up in the Northeast of England during World War II. The stories are told with warmth, humour and pathos. Events that affected family and friends are recalled in his accounts of the upheavals of war. The excitement and innocence of childhood is also communicated as he recalls schools closing, playing in deserted streets and sleeping in air-raid shelters. The security provided by his parents at that time was exemplified by his family's motto, 'Defeat is only for those who accept it'. He describes further family support received while staying with his Auntie and cousins in the seaside town of Whitby. He recalls adolescent days before leaving school for his first employment at 16 as well as his first encounters with girls whom he thought were an 'alien species'. Denis closes Part One of Middlesbrough Man by reflecting on major societal changes that have occurred since his childhood.
