The remarkable true stories of whaler William Thomas as told to his grandchildren in the 1890's.
These fantastic tales span the course of 90 years and have William unwittingly embedded at key important and historical moments in Southland and Otago's history. Along with other fascinating adventures William brings the past back to life in his unique story telling.
His marvelous tales are humorous, bizarre and sometimes tragic but always gritty, genuine and down to earth in their narrative.
Edited and arranged by David Dudfield
