One Small Boy's Life

Derek Bishop was born to a down-to-earth Essex family a few years before the outbreak of World War 2, and his earliest memories are of the London bombs and watching the anti-aircraft guns at work night after night. As a young teenager he fell head over heels for the girl next door, who soon became his bride. A resourceful young man, Derek hadn't been married long before he built a house for them. His skills and sense of enterprise soon led him to build a successful property business. In this book he looks back from his later years on a life of adventure, triumph and occasionally tragedy.
