An incredibly vivid impression of life for a youngster in one of the `rougher' districts of the city. A hughely enjoyable, down-to-earth book that will appeal to Liverpudlians of all ages. Johnnie Woods had a rare talent as a writer. He avoids both the rose-tinted nostalgia and the bitterness that are typical of many books which deal with the Great Depression and the Second World War. With a humour and an honesty that are most revealing, he paints a picture of his Liverpool during those hard times; a picture that is realistic, down to earth, and immensely entertaining. He pays warm tribute to `the guts, the rough dignity and the tenacity' of ordinary folk and gives an incredibly vivid impression of life for a youngster in one of the `rougher' districts of the city. A hugely enjoyable book that will appeal to Liverpudlians of all ages.
