The writer John Banville observed, "Memory is imagination, and imagination is memory. I don't think we remember the past, we imagine it." I have vivid memories of my early childhood (I believe they're memories, not imagination), which is why the #5YearOldSelfie hashtag challenge on social media caught my eye.

Memories and Imagination is a memoir piece from the Tall And True writers' website, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead.
