Description

Jim Henderson's People by Jim Henderson and Photographs by Bruce Foster. 'The lighthouse keeper and his wife, three decades on the coast - Lena, still breeding racehorses at 94 - the bloke who drives the bulldozer down at the tip - an elderly water dowser, you have to take a rest after an hour or so. . . In this unusual and engaging book the skills of one of New Zealand's leading writers and a top photographer combine to present a unique picture of the people Jim Henderson calls "the heroic everyday". Most of the people described here in words and pictures live in the Nelson-Golden Bay area, but they could be from anywhere in New Zealand - people Jim calls "of quiet merit and distinction, invariably unrecognised".As Jim interviewed people and collected material for this book he was accompanied by photographer Bruce Foster, whose rich, perceptive pictures place Jim Henderson's writing in a new and exciting perspective. An important new book for people who treasure "the heroic everyday" in the New Zealand way of life.'
