The Spell of Stewart Island

by Gertrude Dempsey

Hardback with dust jacket. Published 1967.

Gertrude Dempsey had written two earlier books on Stewart Island - Isle of the Glowing Skies (1951) and The Little World of Stewart Island (1964). This third book includes revisions of these two earlier books and new material in The Island Calendar. Easy and engaging to read and with plenty of wonderful old black and white photos. This is a beautiful observation of life and nature on Stewart Island at the time.
