I keep recommending this book but would like other peoples verdicts apart from my friends and relatives. They all say they enjoyed this story of a young lad in the 1940's London but would like to hear if other people outside London enjoyed it as much as us! |

Although I've had nop replies on this website to my question "Boys from the wood" has anyone else read this book? There is a lovely response on the Richard and Judy Book Club website from someone in Liverpool. So perhaps wherever you lived in the UK in the 1940's this book appeals to everyone. |

MajorLondonboy,
Due to your never ending enthusiasm for this book I will be reading it at some point (hopefully get it for Christmas), if it's half as good as your recommendation I'm in for a great read! _________________ SEX IS NOT THE ANSWER!

Captain Pugwash, I can only go by what other people tell me. I enjoyed it and so did friends I know. But we are all Londoners, so I just wondered if it would be nostalgic for other people over 50 and educational for youngsters! I'll probably know more after Christmas as I have given some as Christmas presents! |

Major,
I'm origionally from London, so probably won't count! Although I wasn't born during the war and left London about 40 years ago when I was 10. _________________ SEX IS NOT THE ANSWER!

Captain Pugwash, Have you read "Boys from the Wood" yet? Someone on the "Richard and Judy Bookclub" website has read it 4 times! So I guess it's not just my friends and relatives in London who've enjoyed it! |

Hi,
Just heard from several people that some schools are doing World War 2 projects and their children found this book very useful. Hope this helps someone out there! : |
