Sir Willlam Keys - veteran of two wars, former president of the Returned Sevices League (RSL), and involved with numerous public and private organizations - discovered just over a year ago that he had prostate cancer. He was unimpressed with the prospects offered by his doctor in Australia and by conventional Western medicine and so sought alternative treatments in China. Sir William details his treatment - herbal mixtures, meditation and harnessing the Chi being just some of the procedures so foreign to him in the beginning but which, he believes, effected his "cure". "Flowers in Winter" is an appealing, inspirational story; it is also a study of a land of ancient custom, of diverse and sometimes tragic history.
