'Among the few great writers of our time' Independent

'An exceptionally talented novelist' Sunday Times

'Remarkable for the deep and unwavering insight it gives into child behaviour' The Times

Seen through the eyes of a young boy living on a council estate in a northern town, a pre-war childhood emerges that is universal in its everyday adventures, shifting allegiances, mysteries and occasional tragedy. Yet it is also one that is rooted firmly in a bygone era of innocence.

Acclaimed on its first publication, There is a Happy Land marked the debut of a brilliant new talent and is now seen as a much-loved classic.
