One For The Road, Julian Davison s beautifully written collection of stories about Singapore and Malaya in the 1950s and sixties, was a best-seller when it first appeared in 2001. This new, revised edition, with additional material from his second book of reminiscences, An Eastern Port, effectively constitutes a biography of childhood on the eve of independence and the years immediately following. With his distinctive and entertaining mix of local colour, quirky historical detail, and personal recollections, this compilation of stories from the inimitable Dr. Davison. A literary complement to his popular Site and Sound TV series is guaranteed to enthral, move and amuse readers in equal measures. A fascinating collage of childhood memories of times past in Singapore and Malaysia?the charm of this book stems from the intensity of experiences recounted from everyday life in our region, long before the age of air-conditioning and the Internet.
