ABOUT A season with the Whitbaiter of South Westland.
This introduces the excitement, pleasures and hardships of the West Coaster's most lucrative pastime - catching whitebait. These Cascaders are a special kind of whitebater: a close-knit body of men and women who have pioneered their own style of fishing, independent of motor vehicles and bodily removed from New Zealand society.
Peat gives us an absorbing account of the whitebaters' lives 'on the run'; the race to prepare the boats, stands and nets before opening day; the rewards and disappointment of the daily dance on the catwalks lining the big river.
Illustrated with monochrome images.
CONDITION Excellent with bright dust jacket, cancelled stamps on end papers, pages otherwise clean, no inscriptions, a bit musty.
