    About this ebook

    Celebrated Canadian folk singer Bob Bossin tells the story of his father’s life in the gambling underworld of the 1930s and 40s. By turns a touching memoir of father and son and an insightful social history, Davy the Punk is packed with street-wise stories and troubling revelations about Canada in the 20th century.
