Billy Brown, I'll Tell Your Mother

The second world war is over, and London is getting back on its feet. But rationing is not over, and for ten-year-old Billy Brown this means business. It's the perfect time for a mischievous boy with ambition and imagination... Billy brings to life a multitude of wonderful characters, from barrow boys to the new West Indian immigrants, from spivs to gospel ministers. Billy knew them all and they all knew him. From charming the girls at Woolies, where his mother works, to causing mayhem when he gets into more scrapes than most, Billy paints a heart-warming and nostalgic picture of Britain emerging from the ruins of war.
