"This autobiography ends with the author's thirty-fifth year.  After a man enters public life, says Paul Hasluck, he should give up autobiography and simply proffer evidence as a witness so that others can write history.
So this Western Australian who became a Cabinet Minister and Governor General does not write of what he achieved but of what he loved and enjoyed when he was growing up."
