"Musings of a Middleton Boy" is a unique and introspective
collection of true stories, told by a farm-worker's son who was
raised in the 1940s and 1950s in a ruggedly beautiful coastal area
of rural southwest Wales. Cyril Jones was born early in the Second
World War in the parish of Rhossili, the jewel of the Gower
Peninsula, which became Britain's first declared Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1956. Growing up in a
farm-worker's thatched cottage, without electricity, plumbing or
telephone, Jones's life was not without hardship, challenge, joy or
adventure. Jones shares his bittersweet memories from his early
childhood to the end of his teenage years, and his impressions of
his parents' backbreaking struggle to raise their children in a
condemned cottage owned by a feudal landlord. In a compelling
series of independent coming-of-age stories interlaced with irony
and humour, Jones delivers a captivating glimpse into rural life
during a period of dramatic political, technological and social
change.
