Take a trip down memory lane inside the pages of this charming collection of anecdotes and stories. In the magical world of Fiducia, the Land of Lost Childhoods, children recapture the innocence denied them by neglectful parents and the unsavoury influences of modernity. In "Chips Off The Block," we meet an evocatively described host of colourful characters from the author's halcyon childhood days, including the so-called "Kitcheners of the Cars," an incompetent headmaster and a less than friendly bull! These charming tales instruct as well as entertain, and are a delightfully nostalgic distraction from the stresses of modern life.
