Call Me Larry

Peter Leroy recalls his childhood affection for the Larry Peters series of adventure books. As a boy he entered the world of the books so completely that he went from wanting to be Larry Peters to believing sometimes that he was. As Larry he relished the company of his wisecracking sister Lucy and his square-jawed and capable pal Rocky King. Later when he had become a grownup circumstances led to his taking his place as the last in a line of pseudonymous authors of the series so that in a way he really did become Larry Peters.
