The author (that's him in the cover picture, second from the left standing with the dog between his legs) moved to Church Kirk when he was eleven and immediately gained a scholarship into the school of outdoor adventure here in the North West of England. He tells a vivid and boisterous account of the adventures during one day in the lives of four 15-year-old lads, which encompasses the culture and social history of the golden age of 1957. The 'Dunk, ' as the lads know it, is an area of wild woods, fields, rivers, and a canal. Living on the edge of this wonderful playground is a paradise for these adventure-seeking lads. This tale tells of hope and sometimes comic, sometimes tragic, but always engaging events. There is tension and undertones of sadness and suffering, but above all, there is celebration.
