OverviewBy turns funny, poignant and occasionally shocking, The Larks paints a sharply detailed in-the-cockpit picture of war's demands on an ordinary lad from north Birmingham. Painstakingly researched, this remarkable novel brings three-dimensional detail to the lives of everyday people set in barely imaginative circumstance - the First World War and the early days of aerial warfare.

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationJem Shaw became fascinated by words in a small primary school in Sutton Coldfield and by the age of five-and-a-half had consumed all of the available Dick and Dora stories and moved onto a child's edition of Homer's Odyssey. His love affair with aviation came a little earlier. Brought up close to Castle Bromwich aerodrome in the early post-war years, he would pursue his father and elder brother into the back garden to watch Spitfires, Walruses and, later on, Vampires and Venoms as they swept over the chimneys. He lives in Staffordshire with his long-suffering wife and enjoys the peace that results when the kids grow up and leave home. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
