Artist, writer and musician Dave Tomlin was a founder-member of the seminal free-form folk group Third Ear Band. A constant presence within the London underground scene, he founded the Guild of Transcultural Studies in 1976 and contributed to the International Times.
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*
