Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 317 pages. Whim Wham was the pen-name of the major New Zealan d poet Allen Curnow. His highly entertaining verses, commencing i n the Christchurch Press in 1937 and in the New Zealand Herald fr om 1951, voiced the awkward questions so many New Zealanders want ed to ask. Whim Wham became a Saturday institution and required r eading for generations of New Zealanders. His astute observations and wry take on New Zealand events offer invaluable insights for readers today. He captured New Zealanders' reactions to world af fairs from Franco and Hitler to Vietnam and South Africa, as well as covering the local political scene from Walter Nash to the er as of Robert Muldoon and David Lange. With humorous renderings of our rugby obsession and ruminations on the state of the nation's teeth, Professor Terry Sturm's selection of the best 200 verses offers a wonderfully unique record of over fifty years of this co untry's recent past.
