His experiences growing up in poverty in Liverpool and working in a variety of jobs gave him firsthand knowledge of the conditions faced by working-class people, and this informed his writing.

Paperback. Very Good.

This, his second and best-known novel, is about a young boy who suffers brutal neglect and homosexual exploitation. Hanley, from Liverpool, had gone to sea at age seventeen but jumped ship in Canada in 1917 to join the Canadian army, with which he fought briefly in WWI. When the boy of the book's title goes to sea as a thirteen-year-old stowaway, he is subjugated to homosexual abuse. It caused a sensation when published in England. The 1931 first trade edition was expurgated, and the 1934 second edition was successfully prosecuted for obscenity. This copy shows its age by some yellowing of the paper and there is a stain on the front cover--otherwise in excellent condition.
