Wild Waves And Dragon'S Song

Minnie-May Houghton begins writing a diary and an account of her life in 1960 at the age of 11. In this book is to be found a series of extracts from each of these, dating from 1960 until 1971 when she is 22 years old. She writes of her happy family childhood in the protective bubble created by her Dad and Mam. She relates experiences of schooling within the tight constraints of a Roman Catholic convent school; her initiation into the Catholic religion and, later, her rejection of the Faith. She talks of her love of myths and magical places, especially islands. She relates her adventures on an expedition to a far-away place. She describes her involvement with radio hamming and broadcasting, including her escapades as a DJ on the pirate radio ship, Boudicca. She confides encounters with the opposite sex, including the joy of first love and the devastation of parting.
