I've just seen that Barry Hines died on Friday of last week. Kes and Kestrel for a Knave were iconic books of the time and Hines made a big impact. Sad news http://www.theguardian.com/…/barry-hi...-…
Both the book and the film have that rare quality which allows them to get under your skin and stay with you long after first reading, or watching, them.
