Jacket artwork by Roy Knipe. keywords: Literature Scotland. FROM THE PUBLISHER - We all, at one time or another, want to educate people. Billy Thompson is no different. Sent by his English middle-class parents to be a shipyard apprentice on Clydeside in the 1950s, he is an innocent abroad. The proud and private Scots with whom he throws in his lot on the steep streets of Greenock are something of a mystery to him - stubborn, unsophisticated and in many ways ignorant. But he has just what they need. He has an education. In each of these five connected stories Billy tries hard to pass on that education, to help those less fortunate than himself. So why can he not save the gentle Mrs. Mulvenny, his landlady, from the terrible consequences of her husband's pride? What has gone wrong when the girl from the ropeworks, red-haired Elsie, cannot be persuaded that having perfect pitch is more important than getting married and having a squaad o' weans'? And what sort of a world is it when you give your savings to a friend in need and he unrepentantly swindles you? Tom Gallacher, with an unerring instinct for the flavour of his Scottish setting and the clash of culture and personality, paints an extraordinarily true-to-life picture of Billy's initiation not only into ships and their building, but more importantly into the world of what he calls those spirited, funny and maddening people.' inventory #603.

See photos; "Surviving, it seemed, was a very dubious course of action which would be punished. When the tanker on which Bill Thompson is chief engineer explodes in the southern Baltic with the loss of five lives, his relief at his own survival is temporary, soon replaced by the certainty that the charge of negligence hangs over no one's head more than his own. Tom Gallacher's impressive climax to the Bill Thompson trilogy, Thompsons life suddenly becomes fraught with absurd complications - and danger. Unable to prove that he was not negligent (you cannot prove you are not something) , he sets out to discover why the ship did sink.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 195 pages.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. No signatures. Some rubbing to covers. ; 96 pages. Softcover ("Paper") edition. Green illustrated card covers. Page dimensions: 203 x 133mm. A play centering on the writer James Joyce. "We realise how the author of Dubliners, Portrait of the Artists as a Young Man, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake created these works out of real people whom he trapped in the glare of his brilliance. We also realise why he evaded political commitment and why, to the outer world, he seemed ruthless self-centred. But above all we see a man of spirit and courage able to inspire tremendous love and devotion among those who accepted him as he was." - from blurb on rear cover. Series title: Playscript 64.
