These were some of my childhood heroes...all from books, no TV then.....different heroes arrived when that came along but the most vivid in my mind are the "book lads".  Attachments:

Billy Dane and Biggles. Used to enjoy the Jennings books. Jennings used to be on BBC "Childrens Hour"....essential listening for me at 5pm each weekday. Billy Bunter was also on my list....I was fascinated by the "goings on" at Greyfriars School....a school which was a far cry from mine.....a "toffs" school.....Eton, Harrow, Rugby etc! Tarzan, too, was another one I liked.....wasn't he the Earl of Greystoke or something like that who had got sick of the high life and opted instead for a life in the jungle |
