Axholme

Mischief with air guns and catapults, stealing birds' eggs and collecting butterflies and breeding rabbits, climbing through a window in the gents in the Rio to see the Saturday morning films for free, legcrunching tackles in football games in muddy fields - these are the rites of passage of a group of kids growing up in a village in Lincolnshire in the 1950s. They are recreated here by Mike Bradwell in the voice of one of the gang, a voice that is funny, outrageous and true.
