Subject: D.G. O'Carrigan takes you on a four-year trip to three very different one-teacher schools. The first was empty of everything except for a half box of chalk; the second was a battered old wreck perched on a windswept ridge; the third a delightful, well-provisioned school, close to the lakes and ocean. The author met a marvellous range of people that he brings to life in his narrative. He learned ride 'country style', to drive a horse and sulky, to shoot rabbits, foxes and roos, to sail a boat and drive a car, and most importantly, to stay alove through his many adventures (Back cover).
