Get in the groove!' Stevan Eldred-Grigg, the boy, is seven years old and one of the middle kids in a nuclear family in a twice-mortgaged new bungalow in a new cul-de-sac in a suburb during the Space Age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNot Swinging, Swooning\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of the boyhood years of Stevan Eldred-Grigg, told by himself. A story about a boy's dreams, dreads, hopes, fears and adventures. A story about elbowing and being elbowed by five brothers, three sisters, Seven Sisters, many aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbours, friends, teachers, foes, heroes. A story about pop songs the boy thought were groovy. And about yarns spelled by the olds. Along with other tales he was told, or told himself, about being a boy - being in a suburb - and about becoming, or trying to become, a young man in the mod optimistic hi-gloss world of the sixties of last century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by best-selling, award-winning author of \u003cem\u003eOracles and Miracles.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stevan Eldred-Grigg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1738592669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781738592661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Piwaiwaka Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Stevan Eldred-Grigg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46767335407871,"sku":"9781738592661","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_828b4e36-003a-4b1d-912a-7be47647143a.jpg?v=1744169517","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/not-swinging-swooning-stevan-eldred-grigg-9781738592661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
