This work by Frederick Ward is about "family" and about reminiscences of people, places and the lifestyles of New Zealand in the earlier years of the century. Seen through the eyes of a growing boy and his brothers and sisters, it covers in a humorous manner the details of growing up in the Marlborough Sounds and Blenheim, followed by the breaking-in of a hill-country farm at Waiwhare, Taihape Rod, Hawke's Bay. These personal recollections are a valuable historical reflection of the times, and their preservation in book form offers an opportunity for others to share and enjoy them.
