Book corner competition
We’re going retro this month with our Book Corner page and it has nothing to do with the fact we cleaned out our prize cupboard and found nuggets of book gold. There are four classic titles to be won! We have seven copies of Dust to Gold to give away and one copy each of Tractor Nation, On The Hoff, and The World of Classic Tractors.
Dust to Gold by John Perriam
Cast your mind back to when the fleecy mountain sheep Shrek became a national (and global) hero. It’s hard to believe that was almost 13 years ago. The mammoth woolly sheep captured the imagination of Kiwi kids (and adults) and the shearing of his 27kg fleece was the start of an ongoing charitable venture with Cure Kids.
It is fascinating to recount that if all the fibres from Shrek’s massive fleece had been joined up end to end, they would have stretched around the world one and half times! The discovery of the merino sheep made front page news around the world and his story resulted in several books. Whether your interest is in farming, folklore, history, personalities, business development, or lifestyle, Dust to Gold is a truly fascinating read. It may be an oldie, but it’s definitely a goodie.
Tractor Nation by John Wilson
From vintage tractors to modern machinery, Tractor Nation dishes up a sneak peek into the lives of the farmers and restorers who are passionate about their tractors.
There are some fascinating tales of tractor triumphs and obsessive collectors. A perfect read for anyone who enjoys personality-laden stories.
On The Hoof by Ruth Entwistle Low
Kiwi drovers from around New Zealand share an insight into their world, from the ups and downs (literally) of their lifestyle to problems faced and life in rural New Zealand. The author interviewed an impressive 60 drovers to create a collection of stories from various eras.
The World of Classic Tractors by Ian M. Johnston
From Fendt and Fitch to the David Brown 2D, this book is loaded with photographs of some of the rarest and most unusual tractors and the people behind their restoration and care. It’s a fascinating historical recording of progress and creativity.
