    “Book Descriptions: Short story collection- the title story is about, "A young Englishman, now married, reminisces about his wild teen-age days. He stole for kicks. He met Doris, daughter of a prosperous scrap merchant, who became his partner in love and thievery. He was caught after they robbed a shoe shop one night. He spent 3 yrs. in prison. Doris was pregnant, she married a mechanic, & both were killed in an accident. After Tony came out of prison he went straight. He never acknowledged his & Doris' child but knows the boy is well cared for by his grandfather." (from The New Yorker); Inspiration for the film, The Ragman's Daughter, a 1972 British crime-drama / romantic film directed by Harold Becker starring Simon Rouse and Victoria Tennant.”
