Growing up with Stitch is the story of two boys, Bob and Stitch, who first meet at the tender age of four and remain best friends into adulthood when they enlist in the military together. At the time they first meet, the second world war is raging between England and Germany, yet these young boys take it in their stride along with everyone else, regardless of the air raids, bombing and food rationing. They engage in many exciting adventures as only boys can do, including playing war games on a bombsite, climbing trees to watch courting couples below from their hidden advantage point, cycling many miles from home for more adventures and engaging in paid holiday occupations that sadly no longer exist. As is the experience of most people, they are plagued with the usual bullies they encounter at school, in this case, a criminal family called Boyboys, whose older members are in prison and the younger members working their way to the same result.
