Description

"For Want of a Nail" is a novel about growing up in rural Cumberland. In his childhood Tom Graham is deprived of the understanding, affection and care of his parents, and, more crucially, of the true facts about his parentage. This is the story of his adolescence and growth into adulthood. Melvyn Bragg is the author of "Without a City Wall", "The Hired Man", "Kingdom Come" and "The Maid of Buttermere", all of which are set in Cumbria.
