註釋"Once a Boy is the story of a young boy's interaction with the world of the late 1950s and 1960s, providing an accurate insight into the social structure and fabric of working-class southern Britain during the pre-computer age. "Drawing on personal childhood experience, I've tried to portray a vivid picture of the customs and styles of that period, along with typical children's play and adventure, while describing products, systems, and technologies that were evolving during those times. "Young readers will be enthralled, adults surprised, and older generations amused by the journey back through time. Children become adults, but the child remains within us all. Therefore, this book is dedicated to children, however old you may be. "'Cowslips do a curtsey for the court of the kings in the beauty of the meadow where play all wild things. If you miss them in the summer then stay 'til the spring and as you look around there, you'll see it begin.' "We didn't have a great deal. Some of us used to write stuff." J. J. Irwin J. J. Irwin was inspired to write this book when he realized that truth can be far more intriguing than fiction. The author grew up in Northfleet, a town near the Thames valley in southeastern England. His next book is an adventure about the founding of London during Roman times, which jumps forward to the 20th century. Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/JJIrwin
