Will Hay, Kingsley Amis, Deryck Guyler, Derek Bentley and NOW - Mike Harper! Could he be the fifth most famous person to have lived in Norbury? Not if you don't all buy this great book about what life was really like growing up in a sleepy London suburb at the back end of the twentieth century.
Join the boy with a brain the size of a peanut for a rip-roaring rollercoaster ride down the avenues and alleyways of Norbury. Girls! Football! School! Church! Work! - could life be any more exciting?
Born in nearby Croydon in late 1964, Mike Harper spent the first twenty four years of his life in Norbury.
His passions include music and genealogy, amongst other things, and he wishes that there were more hours in the day to pursue them.
Mike now lives in Lancaster with long-term partner Julie. He has three children, Jamie 8, Matthew 6 and Scarlett 4.
