Harvie Krumpet

Did you know that the average person uses 19 miles of dental floss during their lifetime? Well that's one of the "fakts" that "Harvie" knows - but I jump the gun... We start in Poland in 1922 when he is born, upside down and back to front, to a loving but poverty stricken couple. They doted on him, even when he was diagnosed with Tourette's. A disaster befalls him, though, when he returns to find his family home reduced to ashes and his parents frozen solid to their bike. The arrive of the Nazis sends him to Australia where his calamity prone life continues. He ends up with a (magnetic) steel plate in his head, gets struck by lightning, gets testicular cancer and smokes 28 cigarettes a day - yikes, I'd just have jumped. Then he meets a nurse ("Val") and happiness might be on the horizon. T
