About This Item
London: Frederick Muller Limited, 1958. 255 pp. Peter Whitehead never knew his father and was orphaned by the only person who could tell him, his mother, when he was 13 years old. He would be detained in mental institutions for the next 12 years of his life which was often common practice for children without parents at this time in England. This book recounts his experiences within the systems that were keeping him from the outside world and how he was finally released following a High Court application in 1956. Slight cracking and discoloration to dust jacket.
