Brian Wilson was born in 1924 in Penang, then part of the Straits Settlements (now Malaysia), where his Irish father practised as a solicitor. The book looks at his colourful early life, followed by an upbringing in pre-war Ireland and the UK. It was a way of life that largely disappeared after the Second World War. The present generation may be unaware of what life was like in those days. The book describes all this early colonial life and the changes in lifestyle that took place, enlivened by comments and memories. Nothing too detailed and laborious; all charmingly expressed. Brian now lives in Western Australia where he divides his time between gardening and bird watching.
