About this listen

Barry Crump was one of New Zealand’s most popular authors of all time. From A Good Keen Man in 1960 through to his death in 1996, over a million copies of the 24 books he wrote were sold. He was a superb storyteller, who captured perfectly the laconic humor and the lifestyle of the rugged Kiwi outdoors man. His ability to craft a tale that is both moving and funny is superbly illustrated by the huge international success of the movie Hunt for the Wilderpeople, which is based on his book Wild Pork and Watercress.

Almost all of Barry Crump’s books are now out of print. A new volume of collected stories published in 2017 remedied that. And the five classic yarns comprising that volume are available as separate titles - A Good Keen Man, Bullock Creek, Gold and Greenstone, Puha Road, and Wild Pork and Watercress.

A Good Keen Yarn through and through. Beautifully read by Martin Crump. A book that captures the essence of the hunters in a yesteryear not tooomg ago.

As true as the day is long.

I read this when I was still at school, many years ago. I loved hearing this, hoping to find the rest of his books done soon

I only give 4 stars for performance because the narrator's pronunciation of maori words was cringeworthy. "Maaaris" And pretty much every place name butchered, making it hard to pick up on the locations sometimes. will definitely listen again though

classic, lots of laughs

Loved it. Seen many an uncle or aunt with this book but never read it myself. Now a deer hunter I appreciate it even more, Tough men. Read by his son, bloody epic.
