The Lauder brothers, New Zealand by Annie Ada Clapperton (1864?-1939) is described by Bagnall as a novel of pioneering experiences. Set chiefly on a farm in Southland, the story shifts to Dunedin and Queenstown. It is the tale of two young sheep farmers whose pioneering travails include a disastrous flood, a sheep-stealing mystery, and carrying out the egregious provisions of a will. Annie was married to a Mr. Frank Ernest Clapperton and lived in Caversham, and later Dunedin s city rise, where she died in 1939, aged 75.
