Recollections -- Ivor John's childhood memories, 1901-1915

I have now managed to scan this little booklet by my father Ivor John, and it is here as a PDF.........

I am also placing it onto Peoples Collection Wales, and will add a link when it is available.  It was published in 1983 as a Christmas present for my Dad -- in a very small print run and using rather primitive technology.  But it is well worth a digital version, in order that this little social history is not lost and forgotten.  After all, we are talking of a childhood lived more than a century ago.

My father was a very fluent speaker and a powerful preacher -- and a pillar of the local Methodist Church in Haverfordwest.   In his later years he suffered from bronchial problems and failing eyesight -- but until the day he died his mind was as sharp as ever.  So this is in the way of a small memorial to him -- a very intelligent man, a good Christian and a loving and very funny father......

PS. 10 Jan 2024.   This is now available on the web, at Peoples Collection Wales.  Sadly the illustrations have not reproduced well, but the text is there in its entirety.  Happy reading!
