(A lively account of the joys and hazards of life on a sheep station in nineteenth-century New Zealand. There are dramatic accounts of adventure and danger, rides interrupted by sudden storms, details of an unprecedented snow storm that annihilated most of the sheep and much more, yet whatever the setback, this account shows how Lady Barker rose above them. First published in 1870, this is the story of New Zealand in its optimistic, enterprising and invigorating youth.)
