One 'alone, but not lonely' boy's triumph over adversity, motivated
by his dream of becoming a professional footballer and a longing
for truth and connection. Street's childhood memoir is a sensitive
and honest portrayal, through a poetic autistic lens, of growing up
with learning differences and epilepsy in an unconventional family
during the 1950s and 60s. A unique and vivid social document of the
period, highlighting much of the discrimination still faced by
minority and disabled communities today.
Most people are familiar with the use of horses and their
often-heroic actions in the First World War, but what about camels,
monkeys and the mighty elephant? In this wonderfully illustrated
title, learn about how animals were trained and used, the role pets
had to play in the war, and the plight of animals on the farm, down
the mine and in the street. Although animals were used heavily on
the front line and in major battles such as the Somme, they also
had a role to play at home and, indeed, in almost every aspect of
wartime life. From their first use to how animals were treated when
the war ended, and including the involvement of the RSPCA and
Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, this volume contains stories that
will shock, delight and move you.
Peter Street describes his childhood in Manchester and his
