Salamander Dreaming is based on the true story of a young family's misadventures. Jean and George Russell sold up their comfortable lives in the Channel Islands to take a journey in search of dreams. Their vehicle of choice, an ex-wartime supply ship and former pirate radio station. That was their first mistake. Carried through encounters with drug dealers, amorous sailors, irate police officers and Mother Nature's worst excesses, Jean recorded her daily calamities in her diary with innocent humour.
