Gloucester Crescent is a curving, leafy street, tucked between Camden Town & Primrose Hill, filled with the sound of clacking typewriters & children playing. It`s unremarkable in many ways, unless you notice the lady in the van outside one house, & the familiar-looking residents crossing the road.. . Written through the eyes of a growing child, this is the story of a very particular family & their circle of brilliant, idealistic & intellectual friends in London in the 60s, 70s & 80s. We follow William through the ups & downs of childhood, as he explores the back gardens & homes of his famous neighbours, attends dramatic rehearsals with his dad Jonathan Miller, fails exams & is bullied at school, gets drugs from the philosopher A. J. Ayer`s wife, & tries to watch the moon landing with Alan Bennett & a room full of writers. Hilarious, & at times heart-breaking, this is also about how we grow up & move on
- & what happens when we come back. Not only a picture of an extraordinary time in Britain`s cultural history
- & a hitherto unseen portrait of some of the brightest minds of a generation
- this book tells the funny, tender & moving story of a young boy trying to find his own identity.
