Footnote:
Set in 1930s New Zealand, The End of the Golden Weather tells the story of 12-year-old Geoff Crome who is looking forward to an idyllic seaside summer in Takapuna. He makes friends with a strange character called Firpo. When Firpo reveals to Geoff his secret ambition of winning at the Olympic Games, Geoff does everything he can to help Firpo, including risking his father's disapproval and the ridicule of the local community.
