Life In The Gorge

by Les Marriott

A lovely collection of warm-hearted and humorous memories of a life farming on rugged land in the Otaki Gorge. Les Marriott qualifies as an electrician just as the Depression kicks in and so he decides to up sticks and try his hand at farming. "When a townie is suddenly transplanted from the city to a real backblocks farm...there are likely to ensue all kinds of episodes...". From 'no tooth' sheep to get rich schemes - this is a great read that will make you smile.
