The Complete Pratt: (Henry Pratt) (Henry Pratt, 3)

A superb trio of books. And each, in its own way, a reflection of a stage in life that is so easily forgotten . . . and wonderfully recalled here.The writing is seeringly honest - few if any punches are pulled - and if readers don't recall horrendous and marvellous events in their own lives then indeed they must have led sheltered ones.There are laughs, guffaws, wit, nostalgia, and above all else, wisdom. Don't miss out. Read before life leaves you behind.

Clever, wise, fantastically funny and touching - all in equal measure - sheer delight. Covering the first three volumes in the Henry Pratt chronicles, a read not to be missed. Highly recommended.

Great book, great seller. Book as described. No problems. I would be very happy to purchase from seller again.

Originally read the first book "second from last in the sack race" when I was a lot younger. Really enjoyed revisiting it and the following two books in the series followed on with David Nobbs humour and writing.

Though not as laugh out loud funny as his contemporary Peter Tinniswood [who wrote a similar, though more surreal comic northern trilogy +1] I found the Henry Pratt books whimsical, perceptive and and very readable. I initially never intended to read the three novels in this book back to back, but became so intrigued with the life story of the eponymous hero that I had to forge ahead.

I promise you that if you have the audacity to take this book sand read in public, you will not be able to refrain from laughing out loud. A nd cringingly collapse into into paroxysms of mirth. You have been warned.

When I moved house and downsized I reluctantly had to dispose of a number of well loved books. So I bowed to the inevitable and bought a Kindle. Being in need of a cheer up read this was the first book, or should I say 3 books that went onto the Kindle.

Read this, is one of the funniest, most moving and thought provoking (not often to be found in one book) pieces of writing I have ever found
