Barry Crump was one of New Zealand's most popular authors of all time. From A good keen man in 1960 through to his death in 1996, over a million copies of the 24 books he wrote were sold. He was a superb storyteller, who captured perfectly the laconic humour and lifestyle of the rugged Kiwi outdoors man. His ability to craft a tale that is both moving and funny is superbly illustrated by the huge international success of the movie Hunt for the Wilderpeople, which is based on his book Wild pork and watercress. Almost all of Barry Crump's books are now out of print. This new volume of collected stories remedies that by presenting five of his classic yarns in a single edition.
