The Little FisheryLove and loss by the riverside

Format: Paperback

Condition: Very Good — £5.65
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

This is the story of the first 14 years of my life and of growing up in a house by the River Thames in Maidenhead in the 1950s.
I learnt early on that my father’s word was law; and, as the youngest of four siblings, I struggled to make sense of my mother’s unhappiness and my sister’s hostility towards me.
Even so, I loved our house and playing out secret adventures in its spacious gardens; and I loved our holidays on the beach by the sea at our hotel in St Ives, Cornwall.
These were my continuing salvation against the terror and grief I felt at being sent away to boarding school, when I was nine – and then at 14, while I was away again at school, my parents separated and my ‘home’ was sold.
