Craig Revel Horwood

Set against the colourful boho backdrop of London's Camden in the 1990s, Craig Revel Horwood's first title, Dances and Dreams on Diamond Street, tells the story of an unlikely family of friends who each rent a room in a ramshackle six-bedroom, four-storey townhouse. Like any family, the residents of Diamond Street sometimes fight and often act up, but when the chips are down, they're there for each other in an instant, usually brandishing a cheap bottle of booze and the offer of an impromptu kitchen disco. Presided over by the wise-cracking but warm-hearted patriarch of the family Danny Hall, a professional dancer turned choreographer, the story follows a year in the life of the inhabitants of Diamond Street, rough diamonds one and all, as they try to achieve their dreams, with unexpected, heart-warming and sometimes hilarious results
