People, places and events, that we might forget or that others may not know about are all captured here in delightful, evocative and emotional stories. The writers of the York U3A Living Memories Group have completed a second year project to give us new insights into a world that was. Readers will be delighted, charmed and moved as they step into bygone days and have the opportunity to be surprised by joy as they remember and relive once again the world that is past. For those too young to remember the times that are captured in this volume there is the opportunity to share the experiences of the Authors' worlds. The Authors hope that this collection of short stories will excite the memory of the reader as they begin to draw on their own memories of a bygone era.
