Download or read book Straight From The Ragman's Horse written by Robert Fenwick and published by Booktango. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enclosed are one boy's tales of growing up in a tough working class neighbourhood in an industrial Tyneside town in the 1950s and 1960s. They are about real life and experience. However, the tales are also about truth, lies and betrayal. Comedy sits alongside pathos and tragedy, sometimes uncomfortably. They are fragments of the author's memories of those years but, quite possibly, they will also be part of the collective memory of other working class children of that era.
