Born of parents of modest means into a large family, he tells of his early years in the South-Gloucestershire village of Marshfield. Here he began a life-long study of the stone-mason?s craft that was to raise him ? as apprentice, journeyman and master ? from penniless country lad to successful head of a large construction group. He is stricken by polio but his dogged determination leads him on to apiculture, gardening and a love of Rugby football. This is a valuable addition to the social history of our time.* A NEAR FINE text copy of the 1st edition with some minor faults in a VG+ protected dust jacket.*
