The boy from Treacle Bumstead - Simon & Schuster 2013 - 292 pages
Ken Sears takes the reader on a journey into the past, to a rural England long gone, when horses worked the fields and small boys spent most of their time outdoors. He was born in 1934 to a poor farming family in Hertfordshire. His boyhood life coincides with wartime, evacuees and American GIs arriving in his home town of Hemel Hempstead. At the age of nine he is caught stealing eggs and accused of killing a chicken and is sent to reform school for five years. From there he is called up to do his National Service in 1952.
