Written as Andrew approached his 50th birthday, the book is a personal time capsule, a memoir celebrating memories of Hobart and its nurturing, spiritual heart, the Derwent River. 

“Delightfully detailed recollection…sure to appeal to anyone even faintly nostalgic….evocative…readers are instantly drawn into those innocent times and likely to remember their own childhood…redolent with real poignancy, this book is a clearly written and astute little memoir”
