This is an auction for THE NEW ZEALANDERS by Maurice Shadbolt.

"Throughout his writing, Maurice Shadbolt demonstrates an acute awareness of a young country's yearning for stories about itself: stories which both elucidate the national character and link the life of the present with that of the past. The first published book of a writer then in his twenties, THE NEW ZEALANDERS is distinguished by a scope and a unity of purpose which already foreshadows that major novelist."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Maurice Shadbolt was a major New Zealand fiction writer and playwright. He published numerous novels and collections of short fiction, as well as novellas, non-fiction, and a play. His writing often drew on his own family history. Shadbolt won several fellowships and almost every major literary prize, some more than once. He was capped Honorary Doctor of Literature by the University of Auckland in 1997.
