Playing on the marshes of the Solway Firth one day, young Alan
Edmunds could have little idea of the significance of the plane
crash he was about to witness, from the wreckage of which he pulled
an American Air Force pilot. Focusing on successive generations of
one family, Brian Robson's Snakes, Some Ladders charts the progress
of Alan, his son David, and finally his grandson Ralph, from
post-war austerity to present-day prosperity. From national service
at Catterick to university at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, Alan's
journey allows his son and grandson to follow in his footsteps and
attend the same college. And, when Ralph meets a young American
woman in a taxi in Oxford, the mystery of the young airman whose
life Alan and his school friend Michael saved all those years
before can finally be solved.
