Harry Leslie Smith in this segment of his Green and Pleasant Land writes about being twelve years old and how his political awareness has grown. He has an epiphany during an arduous bike ride to York. It is a wonderful portrait of a young boy coming into adolescence and coming to terms with his working class legacy.
Wonderful stories because of their truth. They expose the true nature of capitalists. Should be read by every school child.
I have enjoyed all of this book. Excellent
