A decade of distant childhood Derbyshire - 1937 - 1947.D.H.Lawrenc's poem - "End of another holiday", provided the inspiration for Terry Gilbert's, "Dim White Phlox". Nostalgic, funny sometimes as bleak as the wind which sweeps off the moors of Derbyshire, this novel evokes in powerful word pictures the burgeoning of a child in a world of slg hepas, pastures, woodlands, alleyways and gennils, populated with half forgotten figures of his memory.
Gilbert traces with skill and much affection the shadowy traces of his childhood and the remarkable people of his village - Temple Normanton - in this evocation and dedicates his book to them.
An absorbing read!
