Living In North West Dominic Lockie

This book is a selection of stories from my childhood in the 60s and early 70s in a small, Northwest, mining and weaving town. It is about the magic and wonderment of those days as seen through the eyes of a child - my eyes! It is about the days when imagination was the biggest plaything that we possessed. The days when a plastic football provided a whole summer's play. It is about the scrapes that I found myself in and the things that I observed around me, and how they made me feel.

When share memories, the author fills them with details and emotions as if you were telling a fairy tale. He might use different voices or describe the location with fantastical words. Turn the memory into a story by giving it a beginning, middle, and end. Get into it, and share the magic of your childhood!
