Book Synopsis

A brave man and a brave poet.' Bob Dylan

Utterly extraordinary.' Guardian

From growing up as an orphan in 1920s New York, to serving in the Navy at the D-Day landings in Normandy, to a vagabond life drinking in Parisian cafes, to befriending America's greatest counter-cultural writers, Little Boy has seen it all.

This is the story of one man's extraordinary life a story steeped in the exhilarating energy of the Beats.
