‘Nostalgic, wise, witty and very enjoyable … the “old” master, Hungerford, is a clear winner’ — Nancy Keesing, The Australian.
‘ … a valuable record of the life and times of a sensitive, humane man’ — Australian Book Review.
For the first time, this volume brings together T A G Hungerford’s three collections of highly-acclaimed, bestselling autobiographical short stories. From his childhood in semi-rural suburbia, to his wartime experiences in Bougainville and occupied Japan; from Press Officer to the venerable Billy Hughes, to his days on the international news circuit, these stories make fascinating reading. With his extraordinary memory, vivid description and masterly use of colloquialisms and jokes, his writing reveals as much about the Australian character as it does about himself.
