Frankly Speaking

Frankly Speaking is a vital social history of life in rural England during the late 1920's up to the early 1950's. It is written in a loose anecdotal style by Frank Grimshaw, a father who regrets that his father and grandfather did not keep even rudimentary records that would tell him about the detail in their lives in the decades that had past.
When Frank retired, he committed himself to making sure that his children and
Grand-children would be able to read his own story. We too can join him.

Frankly Speaking is his story, written in his own individual, intimate and amusing manner, with all his special moments brought to life as we accompany him on a journey through the years. Not only his family, and all of us who know him, will enjoy the guided tour down memory lane - a tour made more enjoyable because all the time it is easy to recognise that it is Frank speaking.

It's a good read for all who lived and journeyed through the same period of history evoking fond memories of what happened to many of us - but who lacked the motivation to record it.
