In this view of the history of Raith Rovers the author builds up the story of the club by recounting events that happened on every day of the year, even during the summer months.
Triumphs, disasters, shipwrecks, crazy Board Room decisions, managers (good and bad), players (brilliant and mediocre) all feature.
As do Davie Morris, who captained Scotland when they beat all three Home Nations in 1925; the wizardry of Alec James; the command of the famous half back line of Young, McNaught and Leigh; and the dash and enthusiasm of the team which won the Scottish League Cup.
But it is not just about the good days.
There are bad days, and loads of mediocre and mundane times too, as well as some accounts of Raith Rovers in war time.
The year as a whole reveals the undeniable charm of the institution which means so much to so many - Raith Rovers Football Club - or, as they are referred to in Kirkcaldy, “the” Rovers.
