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.

Nor the Years Condem
Language: English
Published by Otago University Press, NZ, 1995
ISBN 10: 0908569831 ISBN 13: 9780908569830
Paperback. Condition: New. "They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn." The line from the Anzac verse provides the title of this novel, in which Hyde shows the predicament of returned servicemen and women after the First World War. Through the story of Douglas Stark, we see the many ways in which New Zealand was failing their expectations. It was not the "and fit for heroes" they had fought for, but a changing society moving through the tough times of the twenties and thirties.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Check to Your King is the story of a self-styled French aristocrat, Charles de Thierry who decides to move to New Zealand and create a utopia - a land where Pakeha and Maori can live in harmony. He declares himself the sovereign chief of New Zealand (and along the way, also a Baron, King of Nuka Hiva, and a pioneer colonist). De Thierry is a strange, crazy, romantic figure in New Zealand history, who clearly saw himself as a misunderstood but great savior of people and proponent of justice. Hyde's rendition of him is extremely sympathetic - the Baron seems to genuinely have good intentions. He just also seems to have very little real understanding of politics or people. DJ.
