Journalist and broadcaster Justin Webb’s childhood was far from ordinary.

Life at home was dysfunctional at best. But with gun-wielding school masters and sub-standard living conditions, Quaker boarding school wasn’t much better.

The Gift of a Radio is a candid, vivid and darkly humorous memoir set against the background of Britain in the 1970s – Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, strikes, inflation and IRA bombings. It is a story of hope and how the gift of a radio changed the life of an unhappy little boy.
