Dave Tomlin's collection of tales gives a vivid picture of the counter-culture of those years at its most engaging. I personally found the tales funny, and often touching.—Diana Athill— A modern classic. —Brian Patten— If you want a glimpse into one version of alternative London in the 1970s and 80s, here it is… amusing and enchanting in equal measures; a kind of Thousand and One Nights for the counterculture. —International Times— The ideas we discussed in the sixties were not just ideals: many people actually put them into practice. These tales are the best account I've ever read of trying to live that life. Written with a wonderfully light touch and yet often dealing with seriously challenging issues, this is a book that probes deep but will also make you laugh out loud. —Barry Miles—
