Review

THIS is a thank-you letter to the author of the book my step-daughter, Stacey, gave me at Christmas A Derby Boy, by Anton Rippon. I am not one for picking up a book and just reading it but this brought back a lot of memories, I could not put it down. It was all about the area I was brought up in. I was born at 56 Lynton Street. I had five sisters and one brother and our house was a two-up and two-down, so that was nine of us in there. Thank you, Anton Rippon. I could go on but I am not one for putting pen to paper as you can tell. F. Mole --Derby Evening Telegraph, 19th Jan 2010
