It's a story of childhood in the 1960's in England.....by United Kingdom's Best Loved Writer's.....it's a childhood remembered through food and the contents of the family's pantry. As the summary says, it's deliciously evocative.....and very original (in my words...:) Of course I never heard it, because it's still in the package, but it does seem like a very interesting story....Hope I helped......:).....Jim
