In Throwing Caution to the Wind - A Third Age Writers' Perspective, Bryan McNally and Jan Marshall have compiled a collection of special works written by very talented people in their Third Age.A tale of what it would be like to take a trip back in time to talk with 'Banjo' Patterson about his legendary works.The highs and lows of returning to your homeland as you reminisce together.The intensity that a loved one experiences when that inevitable day comes when you lose a parent. Of verse that tells of losing friends and loved ones near and dear to you?? and much, much more. The collection relates feelings. Feelings of joy, humour; of life and death, and everything in between. A variety of writing media allows the authors freedom of expression in their works. The broad spectrum includes memoirs, short stories, stage performance, essays, poems and exercises undertaken in the Whittlesea U3A Writers' Group class.
