Reed, 1982. Dustwrapper faded at spine, otherwise good.

It is now seven years since journalist E. V. Sale uprooted himself from the city and moved hundreds of kilometers to a remote coastal area 'somewhere in Northland' where the corner store is over half an hour's drive along a dusty, bumpy road. During that time his absorbing accounts of rediscovery of the country life he left as a child have charmed readers of his Country Diary column in the New Zealand Herald - despite a friend's opinion that he would run out of topics in a month.
