Poignant, nostalgic - but not romanticised - stories of good-hearted ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances
What makes Harry's novels work is their warmth and authenticity. Their spirit comes from the author himself and his abiding memories of family life as it was once lived in the slums of southeast London
