AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This is the sequel to Over the Top with Jim, when Hughie’s childhood ended as he sat in a Ford Consul car kissing his red-haired girlfriend. Readers of Over the Top wanted to know whether he and the red-head got married and also, what was his “eight-month false start in life” all about. Head Over Heels covers Hughie’s four-year cadetship as a cub reporter from age 18 to 23. At 23 Hughie and his Davis Cup tennis-playing mate Kenny Fletcher left Australia in 1964 seeking adventures. Thus Head Over Heels is the prequel to Hugh’s Hong Kong-China memoir Spies Like Us. Readers of Over the Top with Jim had also demanded more stories about Hugh’s larger-than-life Russian mate Jim (Dimitri) Egoroff who, in Head Over Heels, shifts refrigerators and English grammar with equal ease. And then there is the luminous fellow cadet reporter Sallyanne Kerr who has no idea that the torch Hugh carries for her could light up Brisbane.' (Publication summary)
