Hard Travellin' Man Blues: a Lifetime of Stories by Denis Hayes

They were the generations who should really have been the most screwed up but they weren`t! They survived the horrors of great wars, monster depressions, savage recessions, rationing, bombing, living for years in holes in the ground, persecuted, derived and bankrupt. They should have been crazy in a normal world but somehow ended up normal in a crazy world. Everything started badly yet they had the guts to lift themselves up and get out to help to restore a ruined planet. This is a continuation of the story that began in the book 'Bye Bye Baby Boy Big Boy Blues'. The story of a family and in particular one boy who endured it all, grew up and sort of triumphed. Who went out to put himself and things back together. It covers very different ground from that of the localised territory of the first book but in the same down to earth way. This envelopes the world and people in a very different manner to that described in most books. Ordinary people in extra-ordinary situations with their feet still firmly on the ground, characters that emerge full of life, fun, ability and humour.
