{"product_id":"station-life-in-new-zealand-lady-barker-9780473571627","title":"Station Life in New Zealand","description":"Lady Mary Barker's three years in New Zealand resulted in two much-loved volumes chronicling the life and challenges of a well-to-do Englishwoman on a Canterbury Plains sheep farm in the mid-1800s. 'I was a proud and happy woman the first day my cream remained cream, and did not turn into butter, ' she writes with her usual wit and wisdom, in Station Life in New Zealand, 'for generally my zeal outran my discretion.' Her courage, good humour and ingenuity made her the ideal candidate to face the challenges of her role as a sheep station mistress. It, too, was a rich life: she was adopted by a wild piglet, taught herself how to make a cake, and started a book club for the station's lonely shepherds. Republished here for a new audience, Station Life in New Zealand is a seminal text by an important figure in New Zealand literary history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lady Barker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0473571625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780473571627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e AG Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Lady Barker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443498889471,"sku":"9780473571627","price":15.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4886f7cf-b03b-4efc-9a81-afa4725c588f.jpg?v=1777205894","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/station-life-in-new-zealand-lady-barker-9780473571627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
