"To "complete" it seemed a monstrous breach of writerly etiquette, yet what I had read was so enchanting that to leave it unpublished would have been a act of cruelty to his readers and to him" - Patrick Gale from his Afterward "Takiing his inspiration from the powerful screen goddesses of the day, young Edward will stop at nothing in his single-minded pursuit of romance and stardom, cutting a swathe through his parents' mining community and the local grammar school. Harsh reality and his sharp-tongued mother, however, have a way of pricking his glorious balloon. Wakefield's sequel to "Forties' Child, The Scarlet Boy, left unfinished at his death, is a wonderful recreation of childhood.
