In Wheeler’s Little’s early days, at the beginning of in the last century, radio was the technological wonder of the age. Crystal sets were to Wheeler’s generation what computers are to today’s young people. Programs were listened to, not downloaded from the Internet. Wheeler’s story is that of a man was captivated first by radio, then by television. It takes readers on a journey from the study of electrical engineering at university in the twenties, to the golden age of radio in the thirties, through the shortwave transmissions of the Second World War in the forties and finally to the introduction of TV in the fifties. It is also the story of a man who stayed loyal to a woman who battled mental illness all of her married life. This loyalty provided much needed stability for the author, their only child. Andrew Clyde Little later fashioned a successful career with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, using the technology his father helped to develop. Unfortunately, Wheeler didn’t live to see this happen, but he would have taken pride in how closely his son followed in his wake.
