Go on, say Tree tins of turpentine!, you bogtrotter! was one of many jeers towards Irish families in Leicester in the 1950s, and is the inspiration behind the title of Tim OSullivans debut book.

In 2008, after realising how much people enjoyed his stories at family gatherings, weddings and funerals, Tim picked up a dictaphone and began verbally recording his memories. Originally a passion project destined to be read by the wider OSullivan family, Tim was inspired by his son, Ryan, to publish his memoir.

Tims anecdotal accounts give harrowing and humorous insights into life as a marginalised child in the 1950s. Born to a dirt-poor Irish mother, Tim weaves rich tales of living in extreme poverty on the unforgiving Mowmacre Hill council estate. This book will strike a chord with baby boomers and entertain any reader looking for first-hand nostalgic recollections of post-war, poverty-stricken Britain.

From narrowly avoiding sexual abuse at a childrens home, becoming a teenage father and enduring two prison sentences, Tims life is a rich jigsaw of highs, lows and laughs. He recounts his mothers struggles at single parenting while avoiding destitution and the shock return of his biological father after being estranged for 17 years. Tims brotherly bonds are brought to life with stories of John - the brother Tim didnt know he had for the first few years of his life and the tragic addiction-fuelled unravelling of his sister, Mary.

Tims determination to rewrite his childhood narrative resulted in a rock-solid marriage to his wife, Pam, unshakeable devotion to his children, and numerous business ventures that accrued great wealth.
