 In this book the very funny Austin Mitchell revisits the country he first dissected in the bestselling "The Half-gallon Quarter-acre Pavlova Paradise" years ago.

Pavlova Paradise Revisited

A witty, satirical description of life in 1960s New Zealand, and Kiwi culture, by Austin Vernon Mitchell MP, who was an extremely popular TV figure in New Zealand.

 Yorkshireman Austin Mitchell emigrated to New Zealand and taught history and politics at Otago and Canterbury universities before becoming well known as a television broadcaster. In 1972, after his return to the UK, he published this best-selling commentary on New Zealand. It takes the form of advice to a prospective English immigrant to New Zealand and was celebrated for its warm wit and insight into New Zealand and its people.

The Half-Gallon Quarter-Acre Pavlova Paradise

Bendoo is sent to Wareika Hills to infiltrate a gang of wanted men hiding out there. No sooner has he reached than he realized the enormity of the task. These men are like legends in the Jamaican underworl. But the words fear and failure are not part of Bendoo's vocabulary and that's why he was sent on this dangerous task.
