Sinossi

Themes which emerged in Robert Choulerton's first collection, 'Lines from Lea Bailey', are developed here, with all his sensitivity to cultural trends, and his felicitous choice of words. There is an abiding sadness at the passing of old values, falling standards of courtesy and decency.

His voice is candid, and personal, throughout, always with a touch of humour. Following up so many recollections from his long life, he clearly relishes his writing, ranging freely over any topic, from the intimate to the global.

Always aware of his own limitations, and his atheistic point of view, he is an honest writer, well worth reading. While never losing sight of our evolutionary roots, the natural history of our species, he finds much strength and hope in our pioneering human spirit.
