Description

Open Country. Edited by Jim Henderson. 'Men perched on a sheepyard rail in the sun, smoking. Countrywomen, chatting informally after a meeting of the Women's Division. Kids running barefoot, chasing the cows up to the milking shed. An old man and his dog... These are the voices you hear in this book. In February 1961 Jim Henderson launched a radio programme called Open Country, and for four years it has been bringing the New Zealand countryside and its life right into New Zealand's suburban houses. It's as sweet as gorse-flowers, as pungent as manuka-smoke. Here are the memories of New Zealanders who write simply and for the fun of it, not for fees and rewards. They look back on the days they remember.' The dust jacket has medium general wear with some light liquid stains on the bottom edge but the book remains tight and bright.
