Essie Summers Book order

Essie Summers was a New Zealand author whose vivid portrayals of her native country's people and landscape were so acclaimed that she was offered The Order Of the British Empire for her contributions to New Zealand tourism. Her work draws on a rich tradition of storytelling and a fascination with the lives of pioneers, inspired by childhood tales and her parents' influence. After early experiences working in drapery shops, she channeled these insights into the romantic novels for which she became famous. As a minister's wife and mother of two, she consistently found opportunities to write short stories, poetry, and newspaper columns.
