ABOUT
Biography of Henry Fox Chaffey and his wife Annie who lived in the remote uninhabited hills beyond Motueka near the top of the South Island.
Reached only by a slim and seldom used pack track, they kept an immaculate one-roomed hut. He was born in a well-to-do Somerset family; she left her violent husband and two sons, fearing vengeance. It was seven years before Annie saw another woman, but even a broken leg wouldn't later tear her away. Henry tracked goods in and out and was involved in various ways with many people, but apart from the occasional visitor Annie lived in isolation for nearly 40 years.
Includes monochrome and colour images, map.
Decorated end papers.
