A short 'personal voyage' by a great Lake District painter.
'Until I started writing this book I had not realised that recollection of experiences and emotions from early childhood can be possible and complete even though I had not given them a thought since they happened.
'I suppose the key to this may be the motive which, in this case, is to try to help others to open long-closed cupboards and let the light in.I hope this may happen, and bring some further understanding, such as I have had in writing this book.'
