Overview

"No one believed me. Children couldnt have been treated like that. But we were."—Harry DrabbleIn 1937, two-year-old Harry Drabble was diagnosed with bovine tuberculosis after drinking unpasteurised milk. Torn from his mothers arms, he spent much of his childhood confined to Sheffields King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for Crippled Children, enduring emotional neglect and years of isolation while immobilised in bed.Told through Harrys unflinching words and his daughter Helen Parker-Drabbles meticulous research, this poignant memoir reveals the shocking inadequacies of early 20th-century healthcare while celebrating one boys extraordinary resilience.Harrys life was defined by a simple yet transformative mantra: I cant… yet. Told he would never work, find love, or support a family, Harry refused to give in to those predictions. He taught himself to read and mastered the violin while living with physical challenges, earned professional qualifications despite limited schooling, and went on to create the loving family he was told was out of reach.This father-daughter collaboration offers a rare glimpse into a forgotten chapter of British medical history, ensuring the forgotten children institutionalised during the early to mid-20th century are seen, heard and remembered. Yet is both a tribute to Harrys indomitable spirit and a timeless reminder of the power of hope, perseverance, and the word yet.
