In this volume of reminiscences and anecdotes Sir Ernest Andrews looks back over his long and busy lifetime. Many stirring events are recollected in these pages, including wars and depressions, fires and floods, epidemics and earthquakes, but for all that the author never loses sight of the happier, personal aspect of affairs. Over the years he has obviously enjoyed meeting and working with people in all walks of life and observing their many quirks of character. 'It is in my very nature to see the amusing side of things,' he writes in his Foreword, and there is a rich vein of humour running throughout the book.
