'SPLENDID EVOCATION OF A WELSH CHILDHOOD' MARGARET POWELL
Born in 1919, daughter of a rogue Romany father and a Lancashire mother, camouflaged as a boy and nicknamed Micky Dripping because her father had already sired 14 daughters...
'Edith Courtney's autobiography of her South Wales childhood could emerge as one of the discoveries of the decade' LIVERPOOL DAILY POST
'A pungent whiff of life in the 1920s as the illegitimate daughter of a merry womanising gipsy who fathered seventeen daughters and then a son... It takes a rare writer to pull off a book about her childhood, but Edith Courtney has done it' SUNDAY EXPRESS
'Engrossing... A MOUSE RAN UP MY NIGHTIE has the same power as Laurie Lee's CIDER WITH ROSIE... Highly individualistic, enormously entertaining... a book to remember' WESTERN MAIL
I thoroughly enjoyed it' HARRY SECOMBE
