From Candles to Chameleons is the story of the early life of Norfolk man Robert E Moore. It follows Robert from birth, through his childhood in Norfolk in the 40s and 50s, to his first job at Thelveton Hall (or on a farm, depending on what you class as a first job!), through his time in the merchant navy until he left in the early 1960s. In this time Robert traveled the world. From England to the Panama Canal, from New Zealand to New York. "From Candles to Chameleons" is a genuinely charming tale told by a natural storyteller about an age that many of us were not fortunate enough to live through or that many of us would love to revisit. Whether you have an interest in Norfolk history, The Merchant Navy, History in general, or just a good story of an interesting life, there is something in "From Candles to Chameleons" for everybody.

He has become quite content there; the women are much more frank and familiar than in Indiana, although he inquires about several old friends. To Robert he writes that he looks forward to his visit, giving suggestions for the trip.
He is eager to communicate with Moore's mother about the changes that have occurred there since she left. He reports deaths in the family, saying all the old stock of Ireland are dead. Crops are promising this year, although potatoes continue to be blighted, yet not in his land. He describes plans for his children regarding school and livelihood.
