About this listen

Set in a small town of the industrial North of England in the late 1950s, this is a feel-good story about the antics of a young man's attempt to make something of himself with a little help from the lads in his yard.

Thwarted with bad luck and inexperience, their journey of persistence never to miss an opportunity through the hardships of the time will make you smile.

As a child from the 50s it was easy for me to picture everything in this very amusing story. My husband kept asking what I was giggling at so I bought the book for him to read. He says it is very entertaining.
I will add that the narration on Audible is excellent.

An entertaining story of rags to riches with Northern charm and a bit of high jinx. I wasn't really sure whether I would like the book but it kept me engaged so much that I listened to all of the book in one sitting.

Entertaining

I loved this book and coming from and working in the area of Yorkshire this is set I immediately started to recognise the settings and the people. Very funny in places with very deliberate phrases to cause laughter, I’ll not forget that lady in Lincolnshire who hadn’t had her bush trimmed in many a long year… you need to read it to understand.

Genuinely heart warming
