Publishers Description: The New Zealand landscape has always figured prominently in the oral traditions and literature of this country. Often it is simply there as a presence, a generalised sense of mountains, sea, city or high country. Much has been written about the impact of place on New Zealand writing but theis anthology is the first book to bring together a selection of writings about specific places. Here are the places that have captivated our writers (and creators of oral works before that), presented as they saw them, as they were inspired by them. Some are conceived in fictionalised form; some in enormous dignity; others in a lighter mood.
