Billy Frecknall is an instinctive fighter, a fighter against injustice of all kinds, even if the odds are heavily stacked against him. He learns quite early in life that many people in this world claim to believe in a fair and just society, but behave quite differently - choosing for themselves which categories of people will benefit from fairness and justice, and excluding the rest. Billy describes prejudice as 'a disease, a virulent and malign disease, a disease of the mind. I have a vision of a brain, ' he says, 'encircled by barbed wire. And barbed wire, I might remind you, has barbs that point both ways. And so does prejudice - it damages both those who harbour it, and those who are its target'. But, despite its serious theme, this is fundamentally a happy book, a book full of hope. How could it be otherwise when Billy Frecknall's aims are identical to those of the founding fathers of the USA: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? There's No Pride In Prejudice is a sequel to Billy's War, but if you haven't read Billy's War already it doesn't matter for now, but you'll almost certainly want to read it afterwards!
