description: Here is Guy Butler's record of his boyhood - to the age of 18 - in Cradock in the Eastern Cape. It was a relatively carefree time when the only serious burden a young boy was aware of was the financial stringency of the Depression. His childhood was lit by the joyous enterprises of the ebullient family of five Butler children and by the sense of community in family and in the small Karoo village. Guy Butler became one of South Africa's most widely admired literary figures.
