Description

You'd think having spent a good few years roaming the hills that a man might have learnt a thing or two and so suffer a few less stuff-ups. As you'll read, I'm a bit of a slow learner and I've got a fair way to go yet!' Hot on the heels of Hunting in the Raw, Big Al's first successful book, A Bum in the Bush introduces us to more of his mates, mishaps and misadventures as he tries to bag elusive animals, insects, fish and other strange entities, like the Stag Bogeyman!

Author Bio

'Big Al' Lester was born in Nelson, the second youngest of four children. As a young man, he had played rugby, golf, softball and basketball all at representative level. Despite these achievements, Al got most pleasure from time spent in the mountains and valleys hunting deer and other wild game. Starting out in the banking industry, Al later joined the New Zealand Police. Being a solid 6'4" tall, perhaps he was better suited to the latter role. After doing the hard yards, Al was promoted to his current rank of Detective Sergeant. He is the author of seven collections of yarns. At 53, Al is still an avid hunter with a love of the mountains and a liking for beer. He lives in Christchurch.
