The Cheese and Onion Sandwich and Other New Zealand Icons
Description
As the hosts of the Rugby World Cup, New Zealand is presenting itself to the world.
In this new collection of prose poems by award-winning writer Vivienne Plumb she presents New Zealand as it really is by celebrating and skewering New Zealand's national identity in prose poems about such Kiwi icons as cheese and onion sandwiches, motels in Taupo, and New Zealand's changeable weather.
An essential guide to New Zealand as it really is.
