your-favourite-book: Billy Liar (1959)

A favourite of mine as a teenager.

Billy Liar is a 1959 novel by Keith Waterhouse. The semi-comical story revolves around William Fisher, a 19-year-old working-class youth living with his parents in the fictional town of Stradhoughton in Yorkshire. Bored by his job as a clerk for an undertaker, Billy spends his time indulging in fantasies and dreams of life in the big city as a comedy writer.

Favourite Book pick of my earlier years were any of the Nancy Drew mystery stories by Carolyn Keene


 NANCY DREW and THE CASE OF THE RADIOACTIVE CORN
(that's one I missed ha ha!)

Book…Treasure Island


 Michael couldn’t guess this was Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson….

It was the best picture of an island I could find…and I covered it in objects I would think of as treasures…

Job done.
