The classic Glasgow Memoir with a new introduction by Tom Morton This is Clifford Hanley's vibrant, unsentimental and hilarious account of growing up in the 1920s and '30s, and his later working life as a radio broadcaster and journalist. His razor-sharp observations and anecdotes cover many topics, from family life, art and showbiz to politics, sex, TB and what it was like to be a conscientious objector during the Second World War. But even the most bittersweet stories are leavened with humour, and the irrepressible Glasgow spirit always shines through. 'Hanley writes with consistent relish for his native city . . . captures Glasgow and its people nonchalantly and unfussily' – Ian Jack, The Guardian 'Like a portal into a vanished Glasgow, but one where the city, its people – their foibles, hopes, humour and warmth – are instantly familiar' – Norry Wilson, Lost Glasgow

“This charming picture book is sure to get readers into the Halloween spirit. . . . A crowd-pleaser, perfect for home snuggling and group storytimes alike.” —Booklist (starred review) Pick a pumpkin from the patch. Tall and lean or short and fat. Vivid orange, ghostly white, or speckled green, might be just right. Pairing a wonderfully rhythmic read-aloud text with expressive retro illustrations, the creators of Pick a Pine Tree here capture all the excitement and familial feeling of a favorite holiday tradition. Readers will be happy to follow along, from picking out the perfect specimen at the pumpkin patch (be sure to stop for cider and toffee apples) to carting it home, scooping out the insides, carving a scary face, and finally lighting a candle inside—savoring the familiar ritual of transforming an ordinary pumpkin into a one-of-a-kind glowing jack-o’-lantern.
