In his memoir of a 1970s suburban Glaswegian childhood Robin Dorman vividly recalls the episodes that defined his early years. He invokes the reader to accompany him on a journey like no other one that is evocative for those who lived through the decade yet resonates deeply for those who did not. Tender-hearted humorous and philosophical it is an affectionate celebration of that which is the mainspring of our lives: childhood.
