Synopsis
Following on from John Boyle's humorous yet moving account of his childhood in a poor Irish immigrant family in Paisley, Galloway Street, this is the story of his close friendship, in his teens, with James Lafferty, a boy from his own slum neighbourhood who joined his class at the local grammar school. This friendship allowed John and Laff to escape from the harshness of their lives in Ferguslie Park possibly the worst housing scheme in the West of Scotland as well as from the pariah status this conferred on them at school. We bonded because we were outsiders outsiders at school because of where we lived; outsiders in our own neighbourhood because of where we went to school our uniforms marked us as snobs from the Academy.

    This delivery was earliest date! Condition, value, quality - all as described. (My mistake was not requiring the publishing date to be 1958. This was 1977.) This IS a Viking Portable Library copy of Dante's Divine Comedy in English, translated by Laurence Binyon, but it is with a cover DIFFERENT from what was shown. The tracking number was listed as from "UPS", but should have been listed as from "USPS." Contact with this seller alleviated tracking issues. I recommend this seller! Thank you!
