This is a Working Class classic novel documenting much more than a boy's fascination with a wild creature but gives an insight into the immediate post war Northern working class existence with the values of the time highlighted. Teachers disinterest in pupils (in the main), bullying, jealousy and retribution. A great book and a great social document of times and attitudes which no longer exist in Britain.

I recently remembered reading this many years ago at school, and wanted to read it again. Must have been 44 years ago. Only problem so many years later, was the small print.
