This is the story of how we grow old - how we give up the dreams of youth for something better - and how many chances we have to get it right.
George Bailey has been given the gift we all dream of - the chance to live his life again.
After suffering a heart attack at the age of 42, George is given the heart of a 19-year-old - and suddenly everything changes...

He is a friend to his teenage son and daughter - and not a stern Home Secretary, monitoring their every move.

He makes love to his wife all night long - instead of from midnight until about five past. And suddenly he wants to change the world, just as soon as he shakes off his hangover.

But George Bailey discovers that being young again is not all it is cracked up to be - and what he actually wants more than anything in the universe is to have his old life back.

Tony Parsons

A. D. (Tony) Parsons, OAM, has worked as a professional sheep and wool classer, an agricultural journalist, a news editor and rural commentator on radio, a consultant to major agricultural companies, and an award-winning stud breeder of animals and poultry.

He owned his first Kelpie dog in 1944, and in 1950 he established 'Karrawarra', one of the top Kelpie studs in Australia. In 1992 he was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for his contribution to the propagation of the Australian Kelpie Sheepdog.

Since 1947 he has written hundreds of articles, many for international publications. His previous books include The Australian Kelpie, The Working Kelpie and Training the Working Kelpie, now regarded as classic works on the breed. He has also written four novels, including The Call of the High Country, Valley of the White Gold and Silver in the Sun.

Tony passed away on 20 July 2022 at the age of 91.
