Springtime in Taranaki is the story of Douglas Stewart's first twenty-five years until chance and literary ambition combined to take him to Sydney. For most of his time he has centered on a small Taranaki town of Eltham where the author's father was a solicitor. This book explains his journey and writing in Taranaki from his days at Eltham public school to New Plymouth Boy's High school.
