One For The Road
by Julian Davison

A best-seller when it first appeared, One For The Road led author Julian Davison to embark on a new career as the presenter of Channel i's much-acclaimed Site and Sound series. Like the television programmes, One For The Road travels back in time to take a nostalgic look at life in Singapore and Malaya in the late 1950s and early sixties. Skilfully interweaving his own childhood memories with historical fact, Davison beautifully evokes the full flavour of that bygone era, before the age of air-conditioning and the Internet. Amahs and kebuns, kampongs and kelongs, railway journeys and voyages by sea - a litany of vanished sights and sounds, that belong to all our yesterdays.
