Jim Sullivan: As I Remember: Stories from Sounds Historical (vol. 3)

By MARGIE THOMSON

More stories from New Zealanders which, while not thrilling in themselves, encapsulate a world gone by. Travelling by horse and carriage, the simple pleasures of new-season apples in a pre-junkfood world, a 1930s childhood spent in basic conditions on the Nokomai goldfields, a girl dressing in her Brownie uniform and waiting for the Queen to drive past - these stories usually hide behind history's headlines, and it's great to put them on record.
