About the Author

Bill Walkey was born in Birmingham, UK, in 1944 during the second World War. His city was bombed 75 times, almost as badly as London was. His book of short stories speaks of his early childhood and impressions of his devastated surrounding buildings and community, neighbours and family. With a child's perspective during this dark time in history, Bill shares his insights and compassion, so that future generations will better understand the people and places of today.
