About the Book

Although the places and people have radically changed over the decades since Samuel Page first sought solace under The Hadmore Oak, a huge old tree dominating the sky line, the peace and tranquillity found under the branches of this special spot have not wavered. Situated on the peak of a hill overlooking the idyllic English village of Hadmore, the oak played an important part in life, and death, of Samuel. Returning to his childhood home after an absence of nearly fifty years and facing the reality of his own mortality, Samuel revisits his past life in the Vale of Hadmore. Through the eyes of the narrator, we take a journey through the formative and troubled years of a young boy's path to manhood. We laugh and we cry along with him in this bittersweet tale of dichotomies... a tale of happiness and crippling turmoil. The Hadmore Oak invites you on a journey through the gripping experience of growing up in the early part of the 20th Century and the coming of age under increasingly difficult circumstances. The people and the events that touched Samuel's life, making him the man he is today, are vividly portrayed with humour and sadness. Finally coming to terms with his past after spending the majority of his life desperately trying to avoid it, Samuel attempts to reconcile with the demons that have haunted him for years by searching for peace of mind before his time ends. Drawing together a rich tapestry of country life through the lives of Samuel, his friend Jack, and the many faces who have passed through the Vale of Hadmore over the years, author John Cayman brilliantly details a nostalgic coming of age story set against a richly realised early 20th Century Britain. Examining human nature at both its best and worst, nothing is left adrift in the encompassing tale of The Hadmore Oak.
