"From Te Rauparaha's Kawhia to the Moeraki of Keri Hulme; Katherine Mansfield's Days Bay to the Remarkables, so beloved by Charles Brasch; the Pink and White Terraces that delighted a visiting Anthony Trollope and the Auckland motorway of Riemke Ensing - here are the places that have captivated our writers (and creators of oral works before that), presented as they saw them, as they were inspired by them." -- BOOK JACKET.
