And I am participating in two events. Herewith, from the program:

Sunday 13 May
One of New Zealand’s most popular writers, Joan Druett writes both history and historical novels. Her lasting creation, Maori whaler Wiki Coffin, features in a series of mystery novels set along the whaling routes of the nineteenth century.
Joan’s most recent book is Tupaia: The Remarkable Story of Captain Cook’s Polynesian Navigator, an illustrated and lively look of this previously uncelebrated, historical figure who sailed from Tahiti on the Endeavour in 1769 as navigator and translator, sadly dying before he could return home.
In conversation with Dr Rodney Wilson.
