Synopsis
Robert Douglas completes his autobiographical trilogy in this enchanting personal memoir, taking us through the 1960s and into the 80s with his memories of life as a prison officer and, later, as an electricity chargehand driving around the Yorkshire Dales. His prison tales are laced with anecdotes about many of the most famous criminals in British history: the Krays, the Richardsons, the Great Train Robbers, Soviet spies and many more. Along the way, Douglas evokes the strong sense of social change that gripped the country as Britain emerged from the post-war gloom into the bright lights of the Beatles years and beyond., In an entirely stand-alone book, Robert Douglas completes his autobiographical trilogy, taking us through the sixties and into the eighties with his memories of life as a prison officer, and, at the end of his career, as an electricity chargehand driving around the Yorkshire Dales. He tells us of his prison experiences, with anecdotes about many of the most famous criminals in British history - the Krays, the Richardsons, the Great Train Robbers, Soviet spies and many more. Told in the same endearing and fascinating voice that readers of LAST SONG OF THE NIGHT TRAM and SOMEWHERE TO LAY MY HEAD first fell in love with, this volume continues the story of Robert's remarkable journey of self-education, introducing us to larger-than-life characters on both sides of the bars, and evoking a strong sense of social change as Britain emerged from the post-War gloom into the bright lights of the Beatles years., The third volume in Robert Douglas's remarkable life story picks up from the bestselling SOMEWHERE TO LAY MY HEAD and brings us up to the present day
