Kipps
Authorship not stated
You are young Artie Kipps, sent to a New Romney toy shop by an aunt and uncle who warn you away from the noisy Pornick children next door. A schoolyard fight with Sid turns into friendship, and inside a wrecked ship you carve your name beside his sister Ann's. She agrees to be your girl and splits a sixpence between you, a promise tested within days, when your uncle puts you on the bus to a Folkestone apprenticeship.
