In this lively and humorous collection of stories, VC George recounts his experiences and memories - from growing up in Malaya, to school and work, and from presiding over the Malaysian Bar to after hours spent at the Long Bar. We catch up with him to discuss what it was like to put these stories down on paper, and how his family and friends feel seeing themselves on the page. And then in Footnotes, we review the book!
