1290222 2012-07-23 23:30:00 IMHO She has left a great legacy.

My children loved her books. They can still remember them, even though they are no longer children.

1290223 2012-07-23 23:58:00 What a great author! But isn't a pity that no publisher in NZ was interested in her work and so like so may other kiwis, she had to go overseas to find a publisher for her work . Only then was she recognised in NZ .

Seem to remember that Flight of the Conchords had to go the same way . There have been many others over the years that have gone - mainly to Oz - for recognition . It's a sad reflection on NZ .
