Lewis Wilshire was one of the West Country's best known writers, and Where Kingcups Grew is the author's swan song.
Originally written as short stories over many years for the Bristol Evening Post, Lewis Wilshire compiled this personal collection shortly before his death. These are delightful tales of his Bristol childhood, which was spent over eighty years ago in a long-vanished landscape of streams, meadows and wildlife, a landscape which now lies beneath the concrete confines of the city.
Also recalled with affection and poignancy is a cavalcade of eccentric friends and relations. Beautifully written, these recollections will become a classic of their kind.
