About the author

New Zealand author of semi-autobiographical comic novels based on his image as a rugged outdoors man.

Crump worked for many years as a government deer-culler in areas of New Zealand native forest (termed "the bush"). He wrote his first novel, A Good Keen Man, in 1960, based on his experiences as a government hunter. It was a fictional account of a young hunter who has to suffer through a series of hunting partners who are often unsuitable for the job. This novel became one of the most popular in New Zealand history,

Crump died in 1996 of a suspected aortic aneurysm. At the time of his death he was living at Ohauiti with his fifth wife, Maggie.

Reviews

[Daren]

So this book is a combo re-print of 'There and Back' and 'Hang on a Minute Mate', both previous books revolving around Crump's Sam Cash character.
There is just one chapter missing in this book that is in There and Back, and there are half adozen missing from Hang on an Minute Mate.

So only buy/read this is you don't have access to the others.
I haven't star rated this book on that basis.
