Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Persephone Books Ltd No. 177 [Published Date: 2016]. Soft cover, in wraps, 373 pp. In very good condition. Grey and white paper covers in grey warps have light bumping to edges and light overall scuffing. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. NOT Ex-Library. NO remainder marks. [From flaps] Halfway through the war, Eliza became a poet. It happened in a white dinghy down at Island Bay, where Augusta used to take them in the summer evenings. The boat looked safe and tired; there was a little dirty seawater in its bottom, but not enough to count. She slid into it and curled up. At last, when a few pale stars sprinkled the sky, silver daisies on a stiff-standing dark blue taffeta gown, she clambered out of the boat, stiff all over. Her mother caught her by the wrist. 'Do you know the Boy Scouts are out looking for you? Where have you been?' 'I couldn't help it. I was writing a poem.' Presently, Augusta was not cross any more, and they were all drinking macaroni soup at the house in Calver Street. Augusta said, 'Now let's have this blessed poem.' Eliza repeated it without a hitch. It rhymed ocean with motion and weather with feather. Augusta said, 'Humph . . . Not so bad. Iris Wilkinson (1906-39), who wrote as Robin Hyde, is now seen as one of New Zealand's major writers. Brought up in Wellington (her father was English and her mother Australian), she was encouraged to write, and at 17 started working as a newspaper journalist. A long spell in hospital resulted from a serious knee injury. She gave birth to two illegitimate children (the first died, but her son, Derek Challis b. 1930, was fostered) and then had a breakdown; despite this she continued to work ferociously hard, notably during 1934-5 when she lived in the grounds of Auckland Mental Hospital and wrote half her total output. Here she began her autobiographical novel "The Godwits Fly" (1938) describing 'Eliza' up to the age of 21. She published a total of ten books during the 1930s - five novels, poetry (inc. in 1937 Persephone in Winter), journalism and a travel book. She travelled to China in 1938, made it to London, but killed herself in Notting Hill Gate a week before the outbreak of war.

Soft cover. Condition: VG+. No Jacket. Reprint. Robin Hyde was one of NZ's most notable and prolific novelists of the 1930s, as well as contributing in the poetic field. "The Godwits Fly" is semi-autobiographical as the author left NZ in 1938 to visit Great Britain, or "Home" as it was frequently then called. The title derives from the annual migration from NZ to Siberia of the tiny Godwit, just as many young NZers still make a journey to the UK today. Robin Hyde died in Britain late in 1939, seemingly by her own hand. This novel is a wonderful recreation of the time it depicts, traversing the many experiences of a traveller leaving one home bound for another "Home." First published in London in 1938, "The Godwits Fly" was not reprinted until 1970, as the first of a series of reprints of notable novels in "The New Zealand Fiction Series." It found ready reader appeal with further reprints in 1974, 1980 and this one in 1984. The text follows that of the original printing, with only the correction of misprints. The nine page introduction by Gloria Rawlinson traces the life and work of Robin Hyde, there is also a bibliography of her publications and four pages of chapter notes at the back. 236 pages, colour art card covers VG+, text block excellent, no inscriptions.
