Description
"Windy Island", by Theodore Acland Harper in collaboration with Winifred Harper, published by Doubleday & Doran in 1939, copyright 1931 by the author, later printing of first edition issued in Travel and Adventure Series.
"FOREWORD: In ...pictures of the early days of New Zealand I have exercised the story-teller's privilege to the full. Where necessary, dates have been telescoped, places renamed, rivers and mountains pushed a little this way or that! The McKenzie Country is actually on the map; and historical incidents have been brushed in as atmosphere, but the career of Jim Buchanan is romance. If certain characters seem reminiscent passages bring to mind actual happenings, the resemblance is but partial and incidental. The story of Bob Cornish might easily have happened to a contemporary of my own.

Canada: 1st Class (c. 2-6 weeks) - $18.50
World: 1st Class (c.2-8 weeks) --- $27.50
