The Boy from Rod Alley by John Loveday
The Boy from Rod Alley is an account of a 1930s childhood. This depiction of one boys experience blends into a story of a decade, in the aftermath of the Great War, as ex-soldiers ride their old army bikes, widow-women are familiar figures and Umbrella Joe paces in shell-shock aimlessness.
John Loveday, a former teacher, was born in 1926. His novel Halo (Fourth Estate) won the McKitterick and the David Higham prizes, and was published internationally, as was Goodbye, Buffalo Sky (Bloomsbury), which won Best Children’s Book Award. Adding to his published poetry, and painting in oils, are remaining interests.
