ISLANDS OF SUNSHINE AND SHADOW is the story of an extraordinary man living through ordinary times, or perhaps it is the story of an ordinary man living through extraordinary times. From his childhood in the off-shore British island of Guernsey which was pretty idyllic, except for the very difficult matter of no knowing who his true parents were, to a chaotic time spent in England as a child refugee from the II World War, to where he now lives in Frankston, Southern Australia, there have been numerous good and bad times to deal with as he sometimes stumbled or hurtled along on his journey.
