Publisher's summary

The author recounts the simple adventures of his life as a young boy growing up during the Second World War and the brief postwar years, before society burst out of the past into the 1950s. Living in Worcester, Massachusetts, in central New England, he experienced the simplicity of a life which now seems quaint and austere. Rationing, delivery men in horse driven carts, the constant threat of diseases now conquered, and most of all, the companionship of friends at play in that pre-television era marked those bygone days. The world seemed to consist of mainly Irish Catholics, and for the most part was limited to the distances one could walk. When that decade ended, adolescence beckoned, and a door closed, a one-way door to an innocent life remembered fondly in these pages.
