it's 1946 and the polio epidemic, but the boys on the ward are living it up! "The Boys' Ward" is fiction, and occasionally autobiographical. The author was on the boys' ward in 1946 at Boston's Children's Hospital and lived to tell about it. The novel is funny and tragic, naughty and noble, inspiring and comical, with song and dance, hydrotherapy and a funeral. Timmy Kelly, the hero, discusses everything from Karma to Darwin to the Cosmos. Think Huckleberry Finn meets Mark Twain meets Charles Dickens.
