Sleeping Dolphins : True Tales of The Marlborough Sounds by The Weka Writers Edited and with a foreword by Joy Cowley.

Paperback 1999. Great tidy condition. This collection of yarns has been put together by the Weka Writers over four years, but many of the stories go back a long way. It all began because writer Joy Cowley, who lives in Kenepuru Sound herself, agreed to give a writer's workshop for local people. They enjoyed it so much that they have continued meeting regularly- "meeting, laughing and remembering" - as they wrote these yarns and short-shorts from their own lives or those of family, friends or neighbours. Most are funny. All contribute to a remarkable picture of Sounds life, from glimpses of natural history and childhood adventures to adult pranks, ghosts and the kind of mishap that maybe could happen only in such a remote region.
