(While not written as a formal history of Mount Algidus station, the facts are accurate, with this now being a historical work of merit, and authoritative as a century of social development. Great high-country sheep stations were a part of New Zealand's history, and here some of that history comes to life from experience and thorough research as Mona Anderson, the author, wondered what led men and women, including themselves, to be drawn to this hard way of life in a beautiful country. It may at first sound typical of many of the great holdings of the back country, yet it leads you step by step to the modern pattern we know today of New Zealand culture, filled as it is with adventure and misadventure, yet bright with hospitality and country camaraderie. She ends it with a charming, modest and humorous account of her own courtship and marriage, and writers with warmth and sincerity.)
