Um, it can't be updated by the original author anymore, Eric Hiscock, but, um, he would have had he lispa- lived past 1986.

3:12Chris Stanmore-MajorHOST
But in the amount of time that he lived, "The Wanderer" books and, uh, the "Over the Horizon" books, um, he and his wife, Susan, uh, on board a succession of boats called Wanderer, uh, sailed in the most kind of, I think the most glorious part of, like, cru- cruising exploration, which was, um, the, probably, like, the '20s, '30s, '40s, because the places they were visiting then were so different.

4:28Chris Stanmore-MajorHOST
It doesn't exist anymore.

Um, so Eric Hiscock was there at that time and then went on right through to the early '80s, always writing, always sharing his experiences.

4:38Chris Stanmore-MajorHOST
And this book, for me, I, I can't say, like, I know exactly where it comes in his, uh, anthology or what have you, but this book, I bought a copy of this for my father.

Then think about the South Sea Islands in the 50s and 60s after the Second World War had gone through there.
C
4:27Chris Stanmore-MajorHOST
It's a completely different world that doesn't exist anymore.
