The Great Western Beach : a memoir of a Cornish childhood between the wars
Smith, Emma, 1923-2008
Books, Manuscripts
This memoir of a 1923 to 1935 childhood pulsates with life. Newquay - its eccentric residents and exotic holiday-makers, its tennis tournaments and bathing parties, invigorating walks and teas at the Rose Café - is the Hallsmith children's entire world - a world observed and remembered in meticulous detail by young Elspeth.
