Somewhere to Lay My Head by Robert Douglas

Somewhere to Lay My Head by Robert Douglas

We left Robert a long way from home, a sixteen-year-old recruit in the RAF. Now, we follow his escape from the Forces (until National Service a few years later!), his return to Glasgow and life down the pit. Once more, Robert's fantastic memory for people, places and anecdotes, combined with an ear for individual voices and the brilliant ability to evoke a bygone sense of community, will enchant his readers and sometimes appal them with the brutality of conditions he experienced.

"* 'It recreates stunningly clear memories of a Glasgow childhood.. I laughed until the tears ran down my legs.' - Daily Mail on NIGHT SONG OF THE LAST TRAM * 'Exquisite' - The Sunday Times on NIGHT SONG * 'A grace and assurance that turn everyday episodes into the stuff of romance.' - Times Literary Supplement on NIGHT SONG * 'A well-written slice of social history delivered directly by an eyewitness' - Independent on Sunday on NIGHT SONG"

Now retired, Robert Douglas worked as a prison officer and an electricity chargehand. Although he has lived in Northumberland for many years, he says you can take the boy out of Glasgow, but you'll never take Glasgow out of the boy.
