Description

Over the Hills but but Not to Stay by Jane Hascombe. 'This book is a sequel to Jane Hascombe's very popular Down and Almost Under which was an amusing and perceptive account of an English family's arrival in New Zealand and first year as immigrants. Now she takes up the story at a point where, son and daughter having grown up and left home, she and her husband decide to make an exciting, fresh start themselves. The plan is to retire early and live in their isolated cottage on Banks Peninsula. Their reasons for doing this, their (good) intentions, the difficulties they encountered in making the move, and their unique experiences while living in the last dwelling up a long, lonely valley, are here described with infectious enthusiasm and great good humour.' The dust jacket has light general wear and the book has a previous owners inscription on the inside front page but overall a tight and bright copy.
