From the other end of the world

From the other end of the world : '... and a thousand new arrivals from the other end of the world looked at the shore ... and wondered what was in store for them." Edited by R.K. Dean.

From the Other End of the World brings together experiences of immigrants to New Zealand from the UK who left war conditions for a new life - or for what was intended to be a two year 'OE'. The experiences range from romantic and humorous to the disappointing and deeply moving. Together they capture the activities, attitudes and expectations of the time as well as many interesting individual experiences - urban and rural.
