{"product_id":"9780730492511","title":"A Simpler Time","description":"An affectionate and hilarious tribute to the childhood of another era, from one of Australia's favourite authors  A memoir of love, laughter, loss and billycarts  Peter FitzSimons's account of growing up on the rural outskirts of Sydney in the 1960s is first and foremost a tribute to family. But it is also a salute to times and generations past, when praise was understated but love unstinting; work was hard and values clear; when people stood by each other in adversity.  Above all, in the FitzSimons home, days were for doing. In this rollicking and often hilarious memoir, Peter describes a childhood of mischief, camaraderie, eccentric characters, drama - and constant love and generosity. The childhood of a simpler time.  This edition now includes supplementary reading group notes.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125678817520,"sku":"9780730492511","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780730492511_p0.jpg?v=1763620872","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780730492511","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
