'In this fictional biography, George Finkel shows how, although Light spent only the final three years of his life in South Australia, as surveyor-general for the colony, the crowded lifetime of experience which went before this appointment proved in a sense to be a preparation for his final work.  The beautiful city of Adelaide which he surveyed and planned is a living memorial to his energy and vision.'
