Review Mrs. Twead wrote a marvelous prequel to her series, and yes, more are needed. It was so cool to read about her childhood and her parents. She is a wonderful writer, and I do enjoy reading her books. -- Vine Voice.

Having several best sellers amongst her previous books, doesn't automatically mean that a new book (and a prequel at that) will have the same interest as the author's previous books. I have to say, this is definitely one to be enjoyed, prequel or not, as it holds it's own against the award winning books that preceded it. Memories are interesting things, are they our memories locked into our conscious recall or are they the memories planted into our consciousness by the discussion of the people around us, recalling people, events and places? It really doesn't matter. The author has a wonderful way of setting a scene with descriptive language that begins the step-building, with the full scaffold finally creating the scene in the reader's mind. The different personalities of the characters are portrayed with exquisite detail. The nuances of their actions and language leave the reader becoming fully empathic with their behaviours. To read a book and laugh out loud, much to the consternation of those sharing the same room, indicates that the author has achieved their goal of a fascinating insight into life, as a child, and young person and as an adult. The wonderful use of language making for brilliant descriptions and offering superb comic timing, is not something that many authors manage to achieve, especially in a Memoir. True to her previous books, I believe the author has another winner in her prequel. I highly recommend this book . . . the only discussion I am still having in my mind is which book should be read first, the Old Fools Series or the prequel. For me, I'm pleased to have read the Old Fools series in order as they were written but for others, make up your own mind. Whichever way you choose to read Victoria Twead's books, you will enjoy them all.

By Julie Haigh I received a free copy of this book to beta read-now that it's completed and released, I have eagerly bought the finished article. It is a very polished presentation with another wonderful cover painting by Nick Saltmer which marries up with the rest of Victoria Twead's Old Fools book series. I loved it-that same great winning formula, heart warming and amusing anecdotes, homely, childhood, regional and traditional recipes are included-they sound yummy! Black and white AND colour photos are included throughout the book, a real treat which really enhances the overall presentation for me. I really loved this book! Lovely, warm memories and so many chuckles! The homemade sun tan oil! The rabbit episode! Just perfectly put down in words-I kind of knew what was coming but it was just the perfect choice of words! And the expert comedy timing! Brilliant! My favourite quote from the book has got to be 'Romance blossomed over a carrier bag full of Mackerel'!!!! What a laugh! What great descriptions; for example, the 'Father Ted-like character'-oh my goodness! The 'chuckly bits, such fun, so many laughs. Every time, as Victoria Twead has now written five Old Fools books, I worry; what if I won't think it's as good? I think, what can she possibly keep thinking to write about to keep it fresh? Well, this book hooked me in right from the start with some really funny, absolutely priceless scenes. These were really just normal family life experiences-but put in her own unique entertaining way, so well observed. Again, here are a variety of writing techniques: I always like to see this-like in some of her other books, she has emails/texts/Facebook statuses and comments-in this book she includes a few of her school reports from way back when-lovely nostalgia. This is just like 'coming home'-I worried that it wouldn't be the same, not set in Spain; I had got to 'know' the people in her village in Spain in her other books-the Ufartes etc-I know I missed them in her 'Two Old Fools On A Camel' book. I needn't have worried-it's all good in this book, it has that same lovely style and expert scene setting and humour which just makes you chuckle so many times. She just writes what you want to read-and I want to read more!
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Fun and Nostalgia in Spoonfuls ! By Pat Ellis I hope there's going to be a 'sequel' to this 'prequel' to Victoria Tweads' Old Fools series. I so enjoyed reading One Young Fool in Dorset. I am bias it's true because I adore Bournemouth, Poole and most of what that coastline has to offer. You don't have to be of a similar age to the Author to love the way she describes those times in her life between being young in Germany to becoming a teenager and living in Dorset with her Mum, Dad, Sister and Brother. I am, however of a similar age and so this beautiful Memoir did bring back some poingant memories for me. I love the way the Author's mum would drive them around in 'Ivy' the battered but fun old vehicle... Victoria's school days and her close friendships are just lovely - funny, emotional, a lovely look back to a childhood. I so relate with the daydreaming, love of reading & English - but Math No..... Lovely tales of childhood 'adventures' - Making dens, looking for fairies - that naughty rabbit, the escaping tortoise and bad-tempered Mr Pepper - I could go on and on.... I ordered this Memoir on pre-release and struggled to wait for some 'me' time to read it... I'm glad I did because it meant I was able to digest every word. Loved it. You don't have to have read the Old Fools Series to enjoy reading this Memoir as it is a prequel, well written - I don't know how this is possible but again you do feel as though you're there.... took me right back to things I thought I'd forgotten - thank you Victoria Twead.
