Kakapo Country:
the story of the world’s
most unusual bird, by David Cemmick and Dick Veitch (Hodder & Stoughton, $39.95 hardback, $32.95 softback). Another successful collaboration between wildlife artist Cemmick and writer Veitch, following up their Black Robin Country. This book mainly covers the last 30 years of effort to discover, study and conserve the kakapo. Consequently the book centres on Fiordland, Stewart Island and Little Barrier Island. Illustrations are a good smorgasbord of other plants and animals from these three localities. Cemmick’s full page kakapo paintings are a feature. Let’s hope the past efforts of the Wildlife Service and the future work of the Conservation Department will save this most unusual bird.
