Little Tyke illustrates the life and times of a Yorkshire lad from the early 40s to the present day. The stories are not necessarily all true, neither are they complete fiction.
The element of truth is the factor which makes all fiction believable, and the author hopes something of real life can be gleaned from these short pieces. Now turned seventy, the author - with his sister, friends and neighbours - is depicted on the cover. The adults are no longer with us and the author offers these children his best wishes as they, like him, approach old age.
