Description

The Dark Island (Paperback) Benjamin Kingsbury

Published by Bridget Williams Books, Wellington, 2019. scarce

Paperback. Condition: VG+ . Paperback. From 1906 to 1925 Quail Island was the site of New Zealand's leprosy colony. The colony began by accident, as it were, after the discovery of a leprosy sufferer in Christchurch. As further patients arrived from across the country, it grew into a controversial and troubled institution - an embarrassment to the Health Department, an object of pity to a few, a source of fear to many.
