Notes

Gavin Bishop, award winning children’s author and illustrator, tells the story of his idyllic 1950s childhood, growing up in Kingston beside beautiful Lake Wakatipu. It’s the gentle coming-of-age story of a boyhood spent racing around outside, building huts, eating girdles scones and roast mutton, catching eels, watching the train, riding to school on horseback, having a bonfire on Guy Fawkes Night - and lots more.
