The Great Hamstini

This is a story about bravery, music, curiosity, romance, reading, British films, hot air balloons, sailing, digging, metaphysical poetry, gourmet food, architecture, wine, the Norfolk Broads, pressurised gas, philosophy, the meaning of life, how important it is to 'seize the day'.

Trains, the ugliness and crassness of modern life, theology, escape attempts during the Second World War.

Renaissance values, being an all round individual, persistence, a wild yearning for the unobtainable, friends and family, truth and beauty, delayed gratification, character development, and how a short life, can still be a great life.

It's the story of a hamster...
