NEW ZEALAND PRIZE NOVEL ONE EVERYONE WILL WANT TO READ -GRAND HILLS FOR SHEEP” by Georgina McDonald -Grand Hills for Sheep” was awarded the first prize of £2OO in the Ctago Daily Times Historical Novel Competition conducted in 1948 during the celebration of the Centennial of Otago. It is the moving story of people w r ho are astonishingly real, young men and women who leave Scotland for the new land of Otago in 1848. and who live out their lives there. The background is pioneering, but the people of "GRAND HILLS FOR SHEEP”—Hamish McCallum anc his brothers, his daughter Shona, and the older women. Agnes, Janet, and Mirren—are no mere stock puppets of pioneers. They are people seen and realised in the round. With each small incident and family crisis Mrs McDonald takes the reader deeper into the hearts and mine’s of her characters, and deeper into an understanding of what those “grand hills for sheep” meant to them. 11/6 WHITCOMBE and TOMBS, LIMITED, and ALL BOOKSELLERS
