Horace Spurgeon Fenton has just turned 16. It will be an eventful
year. He is about to discover jazz, sex and Hitler. Drawing on his
own childhood, author Jack Trevor Story (1917-1991) has written a
powerful, poignant, and funny memoir of of the 1930s, seen through
the eyes of Horace, apprentice toolmaker. Story's early work was
snapped up by Alfred Hitchcock for 'The Trouble With Harry', and
more tv and film work followed. But Story poured much of himself
into 'Hitler Needs You' and it contains some of his finest writing.
An older Horace pops up again in two other books: 'One Last Mad
Embrace' and 'I Sit in Hanger Lane'. Horace Spurgeon Fenton
garnered much critical acclaim for Story 'one of the funniest
writers we have', said the Sunday Telegraph.
