Author Geoff Carr discusses his book Dickie Larsen's Pumpkin and Other Stories, relating to growing up in Ballarat in the 1950s.

Laced with dry humour and typical understated Australian cadence, Dickie Larsen's Pumpkin and Other Stories invites readers to look back at life in a time gone by and delight in the charming stories of author Geoff Carr.

From chooks in outhouses, exploding trees and rats at the flicks to standing up to backyard bullies, farewelling dear friends and making unexpected new ones, Dickie Larsen's Pumpkin and Other Stories traverses the passing of time, documenting a life well lived and fondly remembered.
