In childhood there is no distinction between, boy, bird, mammal or fish. A Twelvemonth and a Day is about change and growth, the fluctuating patterns in the worklife of a fishing and farming community throughout the whole cycle of a year, and about the year itself, the life of nature. It tells of how that symbolic year-and-a-day can be destroyed by forces we cannot seem to control - ignorance and greed, profit and loss, the wider forces of politics that damage communities and individuals. It is both a lament for a past time and acelebration of its vanished values
