Product Description
Product Description
One of a series of top-quality fiction for schools, this is a collection of stories of a Lancashire childhood, of football in the streets, fishing, fighting and school, of growing up and looking for work, and of characters such as Spit Nolan the champion trolley-rider, and Sam Dalt the goalkeeper.
About the Author
Bill Naughton (1910-1992) was a British playwright and author best known for his plays 'Spring and Port Wine' and 'Alfie', the latter which he adapted for screen in the iconic 1966 film starring Michael Caine. Born in Ireland, he grew up in Lancashire and his writing contains vivid evocations of the impoverished mining communities of the North of England, bound together by ties of family, kith and kin. Bill Naughton won the Screenwriters award 1967 and 1968 and the Prix Italia for Radio Play '1974' before settling in the Isle of Wight where he wrote several children's books based on his childhood memories.

This is an amazing book. Once read it stays with you.The stories are for boys , they are concise,funny and sometimes moving.
I first read this thirty five years ago and have since given it to my son to read and unlike other things from my childhood that he things are a bit boring ie seventies tv comedy he loved this book. This is a great way to get boys to read. The short story format is not too much of a committment for them and its about them.

Good old fashioned story telling at it's best. These stories were written in a different era but are still relevant to kids today.
I remember reading this as a child and crying over 'Spit Nolan'.
If you have kids, or just like a good story, I can thoroughly recommend this book.
