Allan Johnson (1871–1934) was an Anglican priest.

An instrumental version of 'This Boy', orchestrated by George Martin, is used as the incidental music during Ringo Starr's towpath scene in the film A Hard Day's Night.The piece, under the title, 'Ringo's Theme (This Boy)' was released as a single—but failed to chart in the UK—on 7 August 1964 with 'And I Love Her' on the A-Side, although it did reach number 53 in the American Top 100. Not the poverty of Alan Johnson’s early life. That is merely surprising. Johnson and his older sister were brought up in conditions that were those of a foreign country to most people in the.

Alan Johnson (born 1950) is a British Labour Party politician and former Home Secretary.

This is the first book in what looks like a series about the life of British politician Alan Johnson. The second book called Please, Mr Postman is reviewed in this post here. I picked this book up out of a whim when in a bookshop in London one day.

I found This Boy to be a pleasant read on the tube when commuting to and from work and during the time I was reading this book I was also living in central West London a suburb or two over from where this book was set. This personal and physical connection to the setting made reading this book even more special to me as I was new to London and learning about the history of the part of London I was learning to call home.

Alan Johnson’s childhood was not so much difficult as unusual, particularly for a man who was destined to become Home Secretary. Not in respect of the poverty, which was shared with many of those living in the slums of post-war Britain, but in its transition from two-parent family to single mother and then to no parents at all.

This Boy Alan Johnson Facebook

This is essentially the story of two incredible women: Alan’s mother, Lily, who battled against poor health, poverty, domestic violence and loneliness to try to ensure a better life for her children; and his sister, Linda, who had to assume an enormous amount of responsibility at a very young age and who fought to keep the family together and out of care when she herself was still only a child. Played out against the background of a vanishing community living in condemned housing, the story moves from post-war austerity in pre-gentrified Notting Hill, through the race riots, school on the Kings Road, Chelsea in the Swinging 60s, to the rock-and-roll years, making a record in Denmark Street and becoming a husband and father whilst still in his teens.

This Boy Alan Johnson Biography

This Boy is one man’s story, but it is also a story of England and the West London slums which are so hard to imagine in the capital today. No matter how harsh the details, Alan Johnson writes with a spirit of generous acceptance, of humour and openness which makes his book anything but a grim catalogue of miseries.
