In this warm, tender, wonderfully evocative and often hilarious memoir one of the best-loved men in Britain brilliantly recalls his childhood in 1950s Yorkshire.
Growing up in the beautiful landscape that surrounds llkley in Wharfedale inspired Alan's early passion for nature. It was his Grandpa Hardisty who - with his allotment - encouraged Alan's first gardening skills.
With the sharpest eye for detail and vivid recall Alan brings to life the various family members, school friends ~ and foes ~ teachers and local
characters who became the powerful early influences of his life.
A joy from beginning to end and wonderfully read by the author, this is a classic childhood memoir.

McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.
Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere.
