Written by novelist and historian, Haig Tahta, and beautifully illustrated by Andrew Higgins, this whimsical and heart-warming tale of childhood in 1940s rural England vividly relates the life of 8 year-old Billy and his gang on their cheeky adventures in an age when children were to be seen but not heard - while in the background faint rumblings of the World War contrasts with the innocence of children's play. 3
