A
stunning collection of celebrated New Zealand fiction, repackaged in fantastic
new hardback jackets.
The
New Zealand Penguin Classics selection includes The Skinny Louie Book by Fiona Farrell, The Burning Boy by Maurice Gee, The Singing Whakapapa by CK Stead, Potiki by Patricia Grace, The Book of Fame by Lloyd Jones and Let the River Stand by Vincent O’Sullivan. With these
authors hailing from all across New Zealand, and each having won awards and
other honours for their works, it is our pleasure to bring them to the fore
once again, for another generation to enjoy and collect.
Among
other credits, Vincent was honoured at the New Zealand Writers Festival last
week, Patricia and Fiona were shortlisted for the Ockham Award along with a
biography on Maurice Gee, CK Stead is the current Poet Laurate and Lloyd Jones
had phenomenal success with the film version of Mister Pip.
This
fantastic collection celebrates how fantastic our New Zealand fiction and
poetry is and we love having the opportunity to make it accessible for future
generations. This is best described by Penguin Random House’s Publishing
Director, Debra Millar:
‘The Penguin New Zealand classic series celebrates some of the best
works of fiction ever published in this country in beautiful keepsake editions
that appropriately honour the significance of these author’s works.’
