We Never Had It So Good

Description:

*We Never Had It So Good* is about childhood and growing up in a northern mining town. It is set in the late 1950s, when children were free-spirited 'adventurers', roaming the streets and making their own entertainment. Bonfire night, the miners' gala, leek competitions, the annual fair and school life all feature in this gritty and entertaining collection of short stories.
