Danny Boy
Danny MacIntyre: a natural leader of men and still only 19. A drug habit
financed by expert thieving and a girlfriend on every street corner.
Doncaster's favourite son.
But on a Tuesday afternoon, beneath the overcast skies of sunny Donny,
something very nasty happens. A strange-looking bundle is found floating on
the oily surface of the canal. Mutilated beyond belief, the boy didn't die
quickly. Danny recognises Gibbsey's handiwork. Gibbsey and the police would
both like to have a word with Danny, so in the time-honoured tradition of
Donny deadbeats, Danny legs it to London, accompanied by his mates, Decca
and Chico Latino.
An allegory for modern times, Danny Boy is a remarkable achievement from a
major new literary talent. This is storytelling at its very best, a
compelling and absorbing read, shocking, uplifting and unstoppable. And in
Danny, Jo-Ann Goodwin has created an urban hero of remarkable stature.

The A1
Running the 400-odd miles between London and Edinburgh and right through Doncaster, the A1 is Britain's backbone. This book is a photographic portrait of life on the road. Jon Nicholson's mission is to find out what makes the people living and travelling along Britain's oldest and longest highway tick. Fuelled by a combination of petrol and all-day breakfasts, his journey takes him through a land of extremes, in both culture and terrain, from the genteel to the gritty and from the rolling to the rugged. The text by acclaimed travel writer Nigel Richardson captures the road spot-on, and is the ideal introduction to Nicholson's pictures.
