Alan Titchmarsh grew up, and developed his passion for nature in the wild and beautiful landscape of Yorkshire. In Nobbut a Lad the ever-popular presenter vividly depicts a childhood of simple pleasures like climbing trees and fishing in streams, in a time of post-war austerity.
It was not a deprived childhood, yet neither was the garden eternally rosy and Alan's colourful portrait of a bygone era brings poignant moments and others that leave you aching with laughter. Alan's sharp eye for detail brings to life family members and their memorable quirks, as well as local characters, childhood haunts and significant events that have shaped his life.
