In 1950s’ Brisbane the Cold War is hot news, and so were the cakes at Lunns for Buns, Fred and Olive’s famous Annerley Junction cake shop.From the outrageous to the memorably ordinary, from the radio serials of the post-war years to the rock-and-roll of the Fifties, from sport to original sin and first love, this is a riotously funny yet moving story of a well-spent boyhood. From the author of Vietnam: A Reporter’s War, this memoir is full of unforgettable characters and events, charting the formative years of Hugh Lunn and his inventive friend Jim Egoroff.
