Melvyn Bragg's memoir, Back in the Day, is a portrait of the town in which he grew up, Wigton in Cumbria.It describes his childhood as only son of Stan and Ethel, who ran the local pub, the Black-A-Moor.What is striking is how modestly marginal he makes himself, preferring to apply his formidable recall and affection to others.
