The Tears of Harry Wakatipu ISBN: 9781877361432 Release: 04-2006 Subject: Upper Junior Fiction Format: Paperback RRP: NZ$18.99 |
Harry Wakatipu returns to the Hopuruahine Hut, and – out of the mythical mists of the bush – the Grey Ghost fires his .303 from the hip, learns his dogs to walk on water, slays the first of the Grim Inscrutable Wolves, and lives all winter on a single moa's egg.
What happens when the flying dunny lands in the river-bed, when Harry Wakatipu ferments condensed milk? Tuck this book under your swanny and listen and laugh to the muscular music of the Vast Untrodden Ureweras.
A story of the classic days of deer culling when men were supermen, and weren't allowed to even dream of girls, let alone hide a copy of Anne of Green Gables in the foot of their sleeping bag.
Jack Lasenby at his best, and Harry Wakatipu at his worst.
There's not a funnier character than the dreadful Harry Wakatipu. Booknotes
