2009 marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of legendary New Zealander Barry Crump's first, and most-loved novel, A Good Keen Man. Born in Auckland in 1935, Crump worked for many years as a government deer-culler in areas of New Zealand native forest and A Good Keen Man was the result of his collected experiences. This novel became one of the most popular in New Zealand history. Taken together, Crump's novels have sold more than one million copies domestically, equating to one book sold for every four New Zealanders. Crump was awarded an MBE for services to literature in 1994, and died in 1996.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Anniversary Edition. A very close to new copy. Barry Crump's first and most famous book, A Good Keen Man, is a comic, sharply observed account of a young New Zealander learning the ropes as a government deer?culler. Set in the rugged back?country, the story follows his misadventures, close calls, and encounters with the characters who inhabit the bush. Crump's laconic humour, eye for detail, and affection for the outdoors helped make the book an instant bestseller, and it quickly became part of New Zealand's cultural vocabulary. The 50th anniversary edition presents the classic text in a sturdy hardback format, celebrating a story that remains vivid, funny, and quintessentially Kiwi. Artikel-Nr. 051508
