Put the Billy On gives us insights into what it was like to grow up in Australia in the 1930s and 40s. The story is mixed with undertones of delightful humour and fading innocence. Historical events, such as the lead up to World War II, are artfully compared to the tensions in the speaker's own life.

Ann Jones invites us to reflect on how far we've come, and the precious things that may have been lost on the way.

Put the Billy On won the IP Picks 08 Best Creative Non-Fiction Award.
