Author Description

"Cockle Cove in the Bay of Many Coves in the Marlborough Sounds, is accessible only by water. Lorna Manson's parents bought land there in 1925, when the area was being cleared for a dairy farm and when whaling still occurred in the outer Sounds. Lorna writes of the incidents, politics, wildlife and boats she's experienced, and, most importantly, the people who - answering the call of the cove - have dropped anchor in this small slice of paradise"--Back cover.
