Summary

In this evocative narrative, Dorothy Richards shares memories of an idyllic childhood in Victoria's historic seaport, Williamstown.
She gives tantalising glimpses of a time when life was lived at a more leisurely pace, and neighbours and local shopkeepers were known by name. Her recollections invite us to travel back with her to the wide, leafy streets, the wharves, piers and old-world shops of pre-War Williamstown.
This beautifully written collection of anecdotes captures the unique charm and atmosphere of a bygone age. - Helene Richards (editor)
