Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn found adventure on the banks of the
mighty Mississippi. Tom Hudson and his friend "Shorty" discovered
it in the secluded laneways and avenues of a deceptively quiet
Toronto neighbourhood. Arse Over Teakettle is an intriguing tale of
Tom Hudson's boyhood escapades in Toronto during the 1940s. He and
his mischievous friend, Shorty, encounter eccentric characters such
as Grumpy, an unconventional older man in the neighbourhood, and
their fierce neighbour-Mrs. Leyer. Their confrontations with the
Kramer Gang are sometimes painful and at other times hilarious. As
Tom and his friends become sexually aware, amusing situations
develop. Shorty constantly pushes Tom to explore beyond the secure
boundaries of childhood, into the world of the "big boys." An
intimate and heartfelt tale of family life in Toronto, Arse Over
Teakettle is set during the decade when the city is transforming
from a parochial city into a cosmopolitan urban centre. In Tom's
neighbourhood, difficulties arise as he confronts ethnic and
religious prejudice, which wounds his boyhood friends.
