pp. 194, paperback edition, Signed and dated by the author on title page.”It’s 1943. Young eyes anxiously glance to the sky over the Canadian prairies, looking for Japanese Zeroes. But the threat of imminent invasion can only distract th Gang of Six for a short time from more pressing problems – how to survive the hazards and uncertainties of being a child in a large and not-very-simple world. William J. O’Callaghan has written a memoir of Canadian life in the Forties from the unique perspective of a very young boy. With his dry wit, precise memory for detail, and unfailing good humour, this remarkable debut reads like fiction – but it’s not. You’ll agree that life really was – and is – like this when viewed from much closer to the ground than usual.”
