TO THE MOUNTAINS: BOOK EVENT IN NELSON

To the Mountains is a collection of New Zealand alpine writing, selected by Laurence Fearnley and Paul Hersey. Come and hear Paul Hersey in conversation with Top of the South branch member Naomi Arnold on Monday 6 August, 5 – 6.30 pm at Kush Coffee, 5 Church Street, Nelson.
From the Darrans of Fiordland to Denali in Alaska, New Zealand climbers, both experienced and recreational, have captured their alpine experience in letters, journals, articles, memoirs, poems and novels. Drawing on 150 years of published and unpublished material, Laurence Fearnley and Paul Hersey, two top contemporary authors, have compiled a wide-ranging, fascinating and moving glimpse into New Zealand’s mountaineering culture and the people who write about it.

This is a free event. Start with coffee! To the Mountains will be available for sale on the evening.
