The author writes:
“For as long as I can remember, I have loved hearing stories of past times. Stories about what life was like during my parent’s childhood were always my favourites. I was fascinated by the varied personalities of the neighbours on the Enmore Road and of the struggles and joys of the day-to-day life of my grandparents and great-grandparents.
“I want to ensure that these stories are not forgotten. So I have recorded them here for all the generations of the Enman and Frost families who may follow … and for anyone else who likes to immerse themselves in stories of a time long gone.”
