Award-winning writer Nick Bollinger's deep history of the transformation of New Zealand life wrought by the counterculture in the 1960s and '70s.

Review from Sam Hunt: 'I picked up the package at the post office and thought, "what the fuck is this?", thinking maybe the inheritance had finally come through! It turned out to be Jumping Sundays. Well, that was part of my inheritance, in fact, because I lived through most of it. Not that I was a big maker of it at all. I steered well clear of the Jumping Sundays, and I've never been in a protest. I was always just doing what I was doing, making my poems. But the book reminded me of things I'd forgotten, and it made me aware of things I was only vaguely aware of at the time. I loved reading the book and think that Nick Bollinger has done a fine job.'
