'No home, no school, and especially no library should be without this story and this book' - Michael Morpurgo
'Original, surprising and compassionate without being earnest . . . Frank's book left me enraged, informed and moved' - Sathnam Sanghera
'Lively and frequently moving . . . A British Childhood makes a stirring case for children as central to any national story' The Times
During his time as Children's Laureate, the bestselling author Frank Cottrell-Boyce travelled the country, meeting children and young people where they were: in schools and libraries, in young offenders' institutions and prisons, many of them living in extremely precarious conditions.

A British Childhood tells the story of what it means to be young in modern Britain. It is at once a searing condemnation of our failure to look aftfter the nation's most vulnerable citizens, and a call to arms to all of us to protect the innocence, and the imagination, of childhood.
