Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very clean copy which appears unread. Twenty-eight places in the South Island of New Zealand described in verse with a pencil sketch of the area accompanying each poem. Two former professional musicians, 'G-string' Gordon Clemow and 'Reedy' Miles Spence completed a two month camping tour of the South Island in the summer of 1990. They erected their tent near lakes, rivers and beaches. When they weren't living off the land and burning their tucker on the gas cooker, they played evergreen jazz in many venues for their victuals and refreshments. Here their journey has been described by writing poems, short stories and by completing more than 60 sketches of locations throughout the South Island.
