Remembering the people and places of early Manukau
Very Good Condition - Light surface rubbing, minor edge wear and slight corner curling.
George Higham gathers memories of an earlier Manukau, bringing the harbour and its communities to life through personal recollection and local detail. Boats, timber workings, waterfront settlements and the routines of family life form part of a world remembered through the people who lived and worked there. Anecdotes preserve the texture of ordinary experience, from childhood adventures to the practical demands of making a living around the water. Illustrations and historical images connect these stories with places whose appearance and purpose have changed over time. Rather than a distant overview, the book offers an intimate account of a familiar landscape and its inhabitants. It will appeal to readers interested in West Auckland and Manukau Harbour history, family memories and New Zealand’s working past.
