Hastings

A boy's own adventure

About this book

A charming memoir of a Kiwi childhood in the 1950s and 60s.

In Hastings, Dick Frizzell, one of New Zealand's best-known painters, shares a nostalgic look at his hometown and the simpler times of his youth. From the local landmarks of Sylvan Road and Windsor Park to the bustling Tomoana Freezing Works, Frizzell paints a vivid picture of a small-town world on the cusp of change.

This is a story for those who cherish memories of growing up, appreciate New Zealand history, and enjoy a good laugh. Frizzell's humorous anecdotes and keen observations capture the essence of a bygone era, making it a heartwarming read for anyone who longs for a taste of the past.
