His mother Mabel did not care for the African dry, dusty climate, and longed for her English home. After five years, she finally took her two sons, Ronald and Hilary, to Birmingham, England.

Ronald’s experiences there made a lifelong impression on the young boy and would go on to play a large role in his writing (Carpenter 28). The strain of raising a family on a meager wage with no support from a husband began to wear on Mabel’s health. After they had moved in with another relative, Mabel slipped into a diabetic coma and died; Ronald was thirteen years old.
