Liverpool Tales from the Mersey Mouth - A book by John Williams
"This is a wonderful collection of writings by
John Williams. While it isn't specifically about the Beatles,
they are clearly a part of the story, along with the very fiber
and fabric of the city that influenced him and them as well.
The pieces are short, well written and filled with a delicious
sense of humor that shines in the titles as well as the essays."
Jan Perry, Cincinnati Post
"John Williams writes in the language of Liverpool,
a Scouse scribe who brings to life the people and places, inner
thoughts and outer images, the vigour and vitality and essentially,
the iron humour of a unique city."
Bill Harry, founder of Mersey Beat
Great site, brought back the memories of T & J Harrison Line (tramp
line almost) and Littlewoods store where I worked with the hundreds
of women,regards
I've been searching for the Pickaninny Twins. My neighbor who will
80 talks about this book all the time. Her husband did find the book
a few years ago in a library in Utah. They did make copies of the book.
What would the new name be? Or you just joking?
Hiya! I was born and raised in Birkenhead and have lived in a few
countries around the world.
I must admit that I never tire reading your stories about the old days
and can relate to a lot of them.
I loved the story about your grandad making breakfast as that's
exactly
what me mum used to do for us. The cornflakes and hot milk and the
coal fire.
This really is a great site and whenever I'm feeling homesick
I'll be coming back to get my dose of the real world.
