Paperback. Condition: Fair. 196 pages. Cover worn/ creased. Inscription on front end page/inside cover. Light tanning.Before 1905, rugby was perceived by some sections of New Zealand society in Kipl ing's terms as a ruffian's sport played by muddied oafs. Memories of the tragic death of a prominent player from injuries suffered in an Otago-Taranaki game wer e still vivid, as were those of a wild and rough period in the sport during the 1890s. After 1905 all that changed. Rugby became a national obsession across all sections of New Zealand society, which, although perhaps not quite as strong, c ontinues to this day - one hundred years on since the All Blacks first toured Br itain. This book considers briefly the foundations of the game in New Zealand an d then seeks, with the help of the reminiscences on one of the 1905 All Blacks, Billy Wallace, to explore just why the Original All Blacks are still considered the most important, and greatest, New Zealand side in the history of the game. T he book also reflects the bygone era of the rugby tourist before the sport was r einvented as a professional game; the days when major tours were adventures of a lifetime, entailing months at sea, and months of playing and touring. extraordi narily intense and could be remembered for years afterwards; the days when playe rs went to matches in drags pulled by horses and when vast crowds gathered at ra ilway stations and outside hotels to catch a glimpse of the invaders from the ot her side of the world. These days are now gone forever but, perhaps, as time pas ses, this age, the age of the amateur, will come to be known as rugby's Golden A ge.…

Chicago: University of Chicago Press:, 2018. First printing, Trade paperback, New, 240 pp. Cover artwork by: Isaac Tobin "Writing a new page in the surprisingly long history of literary deceit, Impostors examines a series of literary hoaxes, deceptions that involved flagrant acts of cultural appropriation. This book looks at authors who posed as people they were not, in order to claim a different ethnic, class, or other identity. These writers were, in other words, literary usurpers and appropriators who trafficked in what Christopher L. Miller terms the 'intercultural hoax.' In the United States, such hoaxes are familiar. Forrest Carter's The Education of Little Tree and JT LeRoy's Sarah are two infamous examples. Miller's contribution is to study hoaxes beyond our borders, employing a comparative framework and bringing French and African identity hoaxes into dialogue with some of their better-known American counterparts." First printing, Trade paperback, New. Isaac Tobin (illustrator).…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Runners in Black: The Glory Years, And Later by Christopher Tobin. Publisher: Bosco Press, 2022. 384 pages, illustrated. In February 1954, an unlikely looking runner with a withered left arm shot into world reckoning as a miler. His name was Murray Halberg. Coached by Arthur Lydiard, an Auckland shoe factory foreman, Halberg went on to become an Olympic champion and world record-holder, so too did another athlete Lydiard coached, Peter Snell. Their success and that of other athletes coached by Lydiard inspired a new generation of champions through the 1970s and into the 1980s: Allison Roe, Lorraine Moller, Anne Audin, Dick Quax, Rod Dixon, Dick Tayler, and John Walker. New Zealand became known as a nation that produced great runners. Then tradition faded and almost died until a new star emerged, Nick Willis. However, apart from Willis the days of world-class runners coming consistently out of New Zealand have gone. This book explores what happened. All books are sent free by courier postage within New Zealand. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.…
