An intensely beautiful, profound and poetic biography of the formative years of the dark prince of rock 'n' roll, Boy on Fire is Nick Cave's creation story, a portrait of the artist first as a boy, then as a young man. A deeply insightful work which charts his family, friends, influences, milieu and, most of all, his music, it reveals how Nick Cave shaped himself into the extraordinary artist he would become.
A powerful account of a singular, uncompromising artist, Boy on Fire is also a vivid and evocative rendering of a time and place, from the fast-running dark rivers and ghost gums of country-town Australia to the torn wallpaper, sticky carpet and manic energy of the nascent punk scene which hit staid 1970s Melbourne like an atom bomb.
Boy on Fire is a stunning biographical achievement.

Really interesting books. I have been collecting art books for many years and I now have quite a few from Books About Art. Sensible prices and the opportunity to support a local (to me) independent book shop instead of Amazon

The Great William Hogarth.
Informative book.
Independent bookshop run by Guy, great books great value prices !
Really impressed with this book store. The prices are very good, my order was delivered quickly, and there’s a brilliant variety of interesting titles to choose from. A smooth, reliable experience from start to finish.
I thought I already knew a great deal about Adge Cutler, but Adge – King of the Wurzels proved me wrong in the best possible way. Packed with fresh stories, fascinating insights, and meticulous detail, it sheds new light on the man behind the music. The writing is engaging and highly readable—I repeatedly found myself reading far longer than I had intended.
Entertaining, informative, and genuinely difficult to put down, this is a must-read for any Wurzels fan. Although I'm Welsh rather than West Country, Adge's appeal reaches far beyond Somerset. His talent, character, and legacy transcend regional boundaries, and this book captures them brilliantly.
Great communication, and book exactly as described
I wasn’t aware these books existed until I came across your web site,both great especially the book about the Colston Hall
Quality and speed of delivery excellent
