    About this ebook

    Endearing and equally shocking, The Boy In Wellington Boots is a true story. It faithfully recounts a childhood lost, as seen through the eyes of the young boy who lived through it, and with the hindsight of the adult author. The story charts the fallout for a family plucked from home and deposited in a strange and unfamiliar land where they are torn apart by infidelity poverty and sheer physical hardship. The Boy In Wellington Boots describes in painful but frank detail, a young kid’s struggle against the neglect, hunger and abuse visited upon him by circumstance. The account goes on to follow the author's onward journey to maturity and beyond.
    The material for The Boy In Wellington Boots provided the bittersweet inspiration for VM Frost’s previous novels: By Conscience Bound and Dead Or Alive In Purgatory.

Moving with his Air Force parents to the Mediterranean island of Malta in the 1960's, he remained there until 1975, when he returned to the UK to complete his education. Leaving school with negligible qualifications, he joined the British army where, after completing several operational tours, he left as a senior non-commissioned officer. Since then, among many occupations, he has worked as grill chef, baker, mechanic, and builder.After a period working as a residential social worker with troubled adolescents, he became a police officer; firstly with Thames Valley Police, and then later the Metropolitan Police, where for the remainder of his 15 years service, he served on the front line carrying out both investigatory work and public order duties, including the quelling of the 2011 Tottenham riots.Frost now lives in Malta once more, where along with writing, he works in the film industry."A Handful Of Frost," is his fourteenth book.
