Growing up in Hornsey Rise, North London, in the sixties and
seventies was a challenge. It was hard for a boy marginalised at
school - and not even liking football! - to find anything of
interest to do. And then the light dawned: history. And,
specifically, military history. Soon a world of model soldiers and
ancient battles spills over into real life with a job at a boy's
dream-of-a-shop on Piccadilly. But horizons expand, and innocent
childhood pranks can give way to more serious adolescent scrapes.
Love at home is contradicted by violence on the streets, and the
'firms' are a force to be reckoned with. Drugs and alcohol can
claim your friends. Knowing how to fight is a way of life. Yet
despite life's tragedies, Dave's humour and intelligence shines
through. He draws you into his youth like a spell-weaver and you're
there right alongside him. You'll still be holding your breath when
he finally escapes. No word of a lie!
