Harry Wakatipu returns to the Hopuruahine Hut, and - out of the mythical mists of the bush - the Grey Ghost fires his .303 from the hip, learns his dogs to walk on water, slays the first of the Grim Inscrutable Wolves, and lives all winter on a single moa's egg. What happens when the flying dunny lands in the river-bed, when Harry Wakatipu ferments con-densed milk? Tuck this book under your swanny and listen and laugh to the muscular music of the Vast Untrodden Ureweras. A story of the classic days of deer culling when men were supermen, and weren't allowed to even dream of girls, let alone hide a copy of ANNE OF GREEN GABLES in the foot of their sleeping bag. Jack Lasenby at his best, and Harry Wakatipu at his worst. 'There's not a funnier character than the dreadful Harry Wakatipu.' Booknotes
