{"product_id":"a-grimsby-life-part-harry-goulding-9780244926984","title":"A Grimsby Life - Part 1: Henry the Ninth","description":"In the late 1970s, retired Grimsby schoolmaster, Harry Goulding, wrote his memoirs, longhand, on sheets of paper rescued from a skip and they lay for many years in the safe-keeping of his grandchildren until they were transcribed into two books; the first (this book) detailing his childhood days up until the end of his college days; the second, 'Man's Estate, ' chronicling his often-turbulent career as an eccentric schoolmaster in Grimsby. In 'Henry the Ninth' we learn of the poverty of his childhood; the struggle to supplement his 1\/2d per week pocket money; the rat-catching and the pig-keeping; his annual trips on the trawlers; the yearning for independence from his domineering father; the family war over his grandfather's will; his struggles at school; and his eventual and reluctant choice of profession, among many other incidents, happy and bitter. In addition, his story represents a valuable local history insight into life in the poor quarter of Grimsby in the early part of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry Goulding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0244926980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780244926984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.77d","brand":"Harry Goulding","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440923848959,"sku":"9780244926984","price":18.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2b2c975-ec43-4a0f-817a-26341ebcb995.jpg?v=1777187583","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-grimsby-life-part-harry-goulding-9780244926984","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
