He wrote scripts for such beloved series as \u003cem\u003eThe Beachcombers\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Littlest Hobo\u003c\/em\u003e, but he kept very little of his writing, being decidedly unsentimental about his work. So when his daughter Julie found a series of notebooks from a round-the-world trip he'd taken in 1963 to work on a documentary about world hunger, she knew she'd found something important. But the writer of these notebooks is not the father she thought she knew. From there Julie Salverson traces a fascinating web of personal and political history, of storytelling, of culture and it's shaping and of a man caught in a time of great change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wolsak and Wynn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45865889628311,"sku":"9781998408085","price":1319.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781998408085.webp?v=1768604020","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-necessary-distance-confessions-of-a-scriptwriters-daughter-9781998408085","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
