Overview

This anthology includes memoirs, stories, and poems written in France by some of New Zealand's greatest writers—among them Janet Frame, Allen Curnow, James K. Baxter, and Michael King. French writers—including Blaise Cendrars, rugby writer Denis Lalanne, and Charles Juliet—have, in turn, visited New Zealand and their imaginative engagement with the region is also represented.
