Lady Barker : Letters from New Zealand

From Elizabeth Missing Sewell's recommendations of non-fictional works 'which I can guarantee myself' in 'Hints on Reading': 'Lady Barker's Letters from New Zealand almost everyone knows. They are lively and graphic. I suspect, from what I have heard from my New Zealand friends, that they are rather highly coloured, but they give a very vivid impression of the pleasures and toils of life in the Antipodes, and are good for reading aloud.'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Elizabeth Missing Sewell      Print: Book
