(Hardback)

A Strange Beautiful Excitement is a 'wild ride' through the Wellington of Katherine Mansfield's childhood. From the grubby, wind-blasted streets of Thorndon to the hushed green valley of Karori, author Redmer Yska, himself raised in Karori, retraces Mansfield's old ground: the sights, sounds and smells of the rickety colonial capital.

(Paperback)

Beautifully written and illustrated with maps and stunning photography, Katherine Mansfields Europe is part travelogue, part literary biography, part detective story and part ghost story. Guided by Mansfields journals and letters, Redmer Yska traces her restless journey in Europe, seeking out the places where she lived, worked and died.
