The Oxford Book of New Zealand Short Stories

By Vincent O'Sullivan

New Zealand has a rich tradition of short fiction dating back to such 19th-century authors as Henry Lawson, Clara Cheeseman and E.B. Lancaster, some of whose stories are collected here for the first time. In more recent times the genre has attracted the talents of Katherine Mansfield, Frank Sargeson, Dan Davin, Maurice Gee, Janet Frame and Maurice Duggan. This anthology also includes work by such leading Maori writers as Patricia Grace and Witi Ihimaera, and the new generation of writers, including Peter Wells and Keri Hulme.
