London at the outbreak of W.W.2. By the time he
was 5 years old, a large part of his life had been
spent, in air raid shelters. His father was a soldier,
fi ghting in North Africa and returned home on
crutches, having sustained leg injuries, he couldn’t
resume his job as a fruit buyer in Borough Market
and was for some time unemployed, when, he was
able to work, some years later, he could only get
work as a labourer so money was very short.
The story up until chapter 16 is based on fact,
all that you read actually happened. The year of
his birth plus names are the only fi ctitious entries.
From chapter 16 onwards is how he would have
liked his life to have turned out.
However, the author has always been involved in
music and now sings with an 18 piece big band
and many other Jazz trio’s and quartets.view less
