DRAGONFLY DAYS

Set in 1944 this is the story of how children coped with the rigours of wartime. It is not a war story; it is a Home Front story. We join them in their experiences follow them in their adventures and watch them as they handle the incidents in which they become involved. The main characters are four lads aged eleven and twelve years of age living in the town were I was born and grew up Bolton Lancashire. They associate with numerous other children of various ages. We find them in the streets in school and in Sunday School. We follow them on a day trip to Blackpool an experience which is unique to most the poor children of the district. Their parents range from the kind and gentle and understanding to cruel and violent. It is a humorous tale for the most part that readers of all ages can and will enjoy.
