Steady Past Your Granny's and other stories

The perfect present for the "baby-boomer" in your life. If you, or someone you love, remembers the sheer horror of ballroom dancing at school, the `flying wedge' football formation (one person actually kicking the ball, the rest of the team running after him) or chewing gum machines that gave an extra packet every fourth turn, then this book is for you.

Phil Whiteland takes a wry look at growing up in the 1950s and 1960s that is sure to guarantee a smile on every page.

from other authors on 'authonomy':

"Great read, well written and very witty. Loved the trip down memory lane"

"Hah! a man who was there and remembers it all. The guaranteed smile on every page fulfilled its promise and I am still smiling"

"Philip, This is a delightful collection of stories from an era of which I have fond memories. I loved the gentle humour and the vivid pictures of everyday life as it was lived in those days."

"This is a wonderful, nostalgic piece that I would love to have and pass around to share with everyone my age and older. I wish you luck with this!!"

"When I read the description of this story on the pitch page, I was hooked. It is light-hearted, witty, amusing and charming and sure to please any reader. It was a great read, very well written with intelligent humor. It certainly reminded me of growing up in the 60s, bringing back many memories. And it made me laugh out loud. This is one of the most entertaining books I’ve read in a long time. Gentle reader, sit back, put your feet up (if you can – with your computer on your lap) and be prepared to have a good time with this story."
