Book Description
Much has been written about the old 'Tiger Bay' community in Cardiff. This book is by a person who actually lived there. In A Tiger Bay Childhood, Phyllis Grogan Chappell recounts childhood memories and family stories of life in Cardiff docklands before and during the Second World War. Vividly recapturing the warmth and colour of the area, the author offers portraits of home, school life and leisureand of some of the charaters who have now passed into the history and legend of Tiger Bay.
