the perfect nostalgic coming-of-age fiction read of 2023
Barry Walsh grew up in the heart of the ‘Great Metrollops’ during
the 60s and thought belatedly that there might be a story in it.
The result is The Pimlico Kid, a story of ‘first love’. He is now
writing his second novel.
When not writing, Barry enjoys cycling, watching Arsenal, holidays
in France, listening to Neil Young and gazing at Audrey Hepburn’s
face. He is a trustee of the world’s oldest youth club – St
Andrew’s – and believes that London might just be the centre of the
universe. He is married with two daughters.
