Bats in the Larder

Bats in the Larder is the new book by award-winning journalist and long-term resident of Hastings - Jeremy Wells.

It's an affectionate, nostalgic and wickedly funny reminiscence of growing up in a traditional but fading seaside town in that cultural wasteland that was the 1970s.

The book is the perfect read for anyone who has ever been part of a dysfunctional family, has moved home in winter to a house with no central heating... or has ever visited Hastings.

And it might just strike a chord with people of a certain age who are rapidly concluding that just about everything today is rubbish and that life was so much easier and simpler back in the day...

Bats in the Larder is available on-line and from all good bookshops.
