First in a multivolume memoir, An Abnormally Normal Childhood follows John Case from birth to the age of eighteen, regaling readers with details of his deeds and misadventures. While he grew up in times of depression and war, John was largely protected from the restrictions and troubles of the time, leading a free range childhood ---so long as he was dutiful to his family and religion and respected others.Childish mischief, hilarious situations and times of fast sadness and joyful the pages of this absorbing memoir. This is a story of the way we were, of an early childhood full of innocence and simplicity. Industriousness, ingenuity and perseverance are brought to life in John's tales of his youthful foibles. John's reflections touch on topics from the life of a schoolboy during war, religion and its effects and corporal punishment, to quiet streets and the use of horses among other things.Told with an engaging voice and a wry sense of humour, An Abnormally Normal Childhood takes the reader back to a simpler time and place, complicated by depression and war and to the history of a childhood now past.John's vivid recollections---laced with humour intelligence and curiosity---brings people and events to life on the page, painting a vivacious picture of his early years.
