First published in 1995, this touching autobiography is a unique record of the experience of immigration from one of Britain’s best-loved television personalities. When Floella Benjamin first came to England from Trinidad in the early sixties, she hadn’t seen her parents for fifteen months. At first, her joy at being reunited with her mother overcomes the shock at her new surroundings in cold, noisy London but when she starts school she is upset by the taunting and rejection she faces. Determined to survive, Floella realizes that the only way is to be twice as good as everyone else.
Floella Benjamin is a well-known television presenter and actress who enchanted generations with Playschool and Playway. She acts in films and has recently been made an OBE and received an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters from Exeter University where she is now Vice Chancellor. She won a BAFTA in 2004 for her outstanding contribution to children's television over the last three decades.
