Arse-up Creek by 'Big Al' Lester

Outrageous hunting yarns celebrate mishaps in the bush

Excellent Condition - with light surface scuffs, slight cover curl and minor edge and corner wear.

'Big Al' Lester returns with another collection of bush stories in which good intentions, questionable plans and larger-than-life companions produce memorable trouble. Hunting trips and outdoor adventures supply the setting, but it is the people and their unpredictable reactions that give the yarns their character. City newcomers, eccentric mates and encounters with wildlife create ample scope for exaggeration, embarrassment and a thoroughly unreliable version of events. Illustrations add to the humour, reflecting a storyteller more interested in a good laugh than a solemn account of outdoor expertise. Arse-up Creek offers a distinctly New Zealand mixture of hunting culture, tall tales and affectionate mockery for readers who enjoy the social side of adventures that do not go according to plan.
