Anton Rippon is a Derby Boy. He was born in the town just before Christmas 1944, has lived there ever since, and is now one of the city's best-known local writers and personalities. He writes a popular weekly column in the Derby Evening Telegraph, taking a whimsical look at life in the city, and is also a regular contributor to the Telegraph's Bygones and Yesterday Remembered publications. Indeed, his popular features on people and events in Derby began almost thirty years ago, and he has been a familiar name and face ever since. A Derby Boy is a highly readable and light-hearted account of the city's development after the war, seen through the author's eyes. In telling of his own childhood and teenage years, Anton recalls events and characters familiar to thousands of Derbeians. His objective is to entertain and inform, and he has written a book that will tap directly into the huge nostalgia market.
