Michael de Larrabeiti, the writer who died on April 18 aged 73, was best known for The Borrible Trilogy, a scabrous fantasy about a tribe of pointy-eared child runaways – feral Peter Pans who live by their wits in the mean streets of Battersea, evading the long arm of the law and fighting turf wars with their sworn enemies, the Rumbles of Rumbledon.
