Description

In A Good Keen Man, Barry Crump follows the amusing experiences of a young New Zealander’s introduction into the manly art of deer-culling. The story is set against a background rich in the rugged beauty of the New Zealand back-country. There is no other writer who seems to capture the essence of the New Zealand character with a mixture of love, amusement, and respect. This novel has become recognized as a classic. Barry Crump, born in 1935 and died in 1996, was a best-selling author, actor, TV personality, poet, and more. He was awarded an MBE and OBE for services to literature. Sorry!
