Dick Frizzell can really write! This is a hilarious collection of anecdotes about his adventurous childhood and upbringing in Hastings in the 1950s and 1960s. It's nostalgic, charming, and very funny, full of escapades and adventure, innocently bad behaviour and more deliberate naughtiness! It's a light and quick read, in a beautifully packaged little hardback. Frizzell grew up in a world that no longer exists; this book is a celebration of mid-century New Zealand.
