Background Reading
Come high summer you might think the Marlborough Sounds are very well populated, but
for the most part these waterways are incredibly sleepy. And so it has always been. Such
isolation - particularly in the outer reaches - breeds singular folk with strange stories to tell,
such as those collected in books by Don Grady. Another local yarn-spinner is Heather He-
berley, storyteller and biographer, and kin to a prominent whaling family. Notable books in
the same genre include
Tales of Kenepuru
(Helen Godsiff),
The Lighthouse Keeper's Wife
(Jeanette Aplin) and
Angela
(Gerald Hindmarsh), the remarkable tale of a young Italian im-
migrant who finds herself living on remote D'Urville Island in the early part of the 20th
century.
