This is an auction for Guthrie-Smith of Tutira. by A E Woodhouse.

"In 1880, William Herbert Guthrie-Smith (1862-1940) emigrated from Scotland to New Zealand, where he learned the basics of sheep farming and acquired Tutira, a disused sheep station of 20,000 acres in the Hawke's Bay region of the North Island. Those who have read and admired the work of Guthrie-Smith will find that this biography, written by one who knew both him and Tutira, enables them to understand and appreciate more fully the life and character of the man who wrote the books they already love. He was a man who put much of himself into all that he wrote, and in later years correspondence with friends of very varied interests became one of his chief pleasures. A selection from the letters that have survived is included in this book adding much it its interest and value.”
