About This Item
A H & A W Reed, Wellington, New Zealand - first edition 1976 Hardcover, 7½" x 9¾", with dust jacket Sun-fading to jacket spine. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket Prominent in the turbulent tide of events in New Zealand during the Great Depression were two men, one a Methodist parson, the other a Labour Party MP, both committed to improving the common lot. The parson, C G Scrimgeour, had established the Auckland City Mission and was feeding and clothing down-and-outs as best he could. The MP, John A Lee, was spurring his Party to its first term of government. This book is a unique record by two participants in those 'crisis' years.
