Childhood often evokes a carefree age, but for some, it was also a time when every resource counted. Yet, far from being a brake, these limitations have given rise to boundless creativity. Playing in the earth, with trumpet worm nests, is a fascinating example. How has a single game marked so many childhoods and forged resilient adults?
