"This is a brilliant insight to the hardship of the 40 & 50's in Sheffield. Along with humour and sadness it is a pleasure to read. Fred Pass describes his and his friends antics as children, something of which will bring back your own memories of childhood. He describes in great detail how children dealt with boredom and lack of money. This is a book you can't put down and easy to read over and over again."
