'FINGS AS THEY ARE...

jive clubs, flick-knife duels, rivalry over girls...

Fresh observation, no self-pity, no phoney sociology, rough and squalid, yet redeemed often by sardonic cockney humour...

A story as convincing as it is readable' Daily Express

David Stuart Leslie steps into the world of Teds and tarts, violence and uncertainty and comes out with a novel at once brutally honest and superbly written

Rev up and...off

These were the instructions given to David Collyer at the start of his unorthodox ministry as chaplain for a club for the unclubbable Rockers, Hell's Angels and Mods in Birmingham

A fantastic story

How he avoided being killed or maimed for life and yet persisted in his love and duty to these violent young is nothing short of miraculous

No punches are pulled

Murder, sex, drugs, death on the road, thieving, malicious damage, and all the turbulence of ignorant and undisciplined youth are the scene. No attempt was made to preach or to moralize. The author literally became 'one of them'. But throughout the narrative there is a response to a religious need and a will to service for others which makes this not only a breathtaking but also a very moving book

in the delinquent underworld, thrill-dizzy punks and souped up hot-rods are the everyday way of life for today's teen-age 'beatniks.' To be accepted in the gang you had to play it the gang's way. The way of a city's baby-faced bums. Their games were stealing and lusting, and they kept score by the sin. Here for the first time is the true story of why so many of our youngsters get on the wrong path and find themselves on the degrading road of...

THIS WAY DOWN

Seven steps descended from the side-walk to the cellar club. They led lovely young Kathie Melton out of the innocence of her teens into the guilt and viciousness of a precociously sinful world!

Kathie knew the cellar gang was a little wild. She joined, just the same-chiefly to show Hank Landrum she was tired of his idea of an exciting Saturday night. What she didn't know was that the cellar crowd were fond of vile amusements and up to their necks in the rackets.

The excitement really started when Hank, out of longing for her, tried to pull her from the gang. Its jittery members decided to take care of both Hank and Kathie...

A frank, shocking novel of teen-age life in a New York slum! Here are intimately revealed the desperate secrets of youth caught in the toils of poverty, seeking escape through vice and violence!

The atmosphere of Let Me Alone seems unimpeachably authentic; the family for whom Blackie feels mingled affection and repulsion, the neighbourhood boys who seem to him pathetically feeble compared to the dead hero, the girl to whom he behaves with savage and unmeaning violence - TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

 A boy of fifteen, an American whose ideal is to be tough and indifferent, makes Let Me Alone a nightmare of sultry heat - THE GUARDIAN

It has the eternal validity of legend : it delineates a truth that is too powerful to be a cliche against a background that is too mean to be anything else - THE LISTENER
