Long Summers With My Dad . . .
The debut book by William McInnes, star of 'Sea Change' and 'Blue Heelers', takes us back to the long Australian summers of the 1960s and 70s, and the last of the baby boomer childhoods.
With humour and affection, William writes about his family. He recalls summer holidays that seemed to go on forever, when he and his mates would walk down to fish in the bay, a time when the Aussie battler stood as the local Labor candidate and watched out for his mates, and a time when the whole family would rush into the lounge room to watch a new commercial on TV.
This is a book about people who aren't famous but should be. It's about cane toads and families, love and hope and fear, laughter, death and life. Most of all, it is a realistic, down-to-earth book by a man who had a great time growing up. His warmth and humour come through on every page.
As well as being one of Australia's most popular stage and screen actors, William McInnes is also a talented writer and natural storyteller. This is a must read just in time for Father's Day.
