description: Overture for Beginners is second collection of intimate, informal reminiscences which will provide a delightful game of inspiration-spotting for all the many fans of Mr. Delderfield's plays and best-selling novels. ...As a boy in Bermondsey, he remembers the Zeppelin era; in retrospect he relishes the quiet snobbery of the Avenue in suburban Addiscombe and recalls the first excitement of moving into 'the country' and later to the seaside. Later essays cover his early reporting days and service in the RAF during World War 2.
