A charming memoir of this wonderful writer’s childhood. It has much in common with Bill Bryson’s Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid. Fowler is English, Bryson American, but both seem to have evolved from similar roots, discovering the fantastic escapism of comic books and eventually graduating to writing for themselves. This is a beautiful, nostalgic look at what makes a writer and an easy, enjoyable read. Highly recommended.

Superman , Dracula , The Avengers , Treasure Island ...when you're ten years old, you can fall in love with any story so long as it's a good one. But what if you're growing up in a house without books? Christopher Fowler's memoir captures life in suburban London as it has rarely been seen: through the eyes of a lonely boy who spends his days between the library and the cinema, devouring novels, comics, cereal packets - anything that might reveal a story.
