Summary

Enter a world of boys. Writers and sportsmen, princes and cooks“ scared, brave, bully, bullied, rich, poor, gentle, rough, in the gang and out of it. With different childhoods, challenges and choices, they come together in strength to take on the notion that `boys will be boys`.

Being Boys is a collection which has a story for every boy. Written with humour and empathy, this array of fiction, fable, autobiography, reportage, diary jottings, memoir and history rewrites the `rules` of being boys.
