All of us at Featherston Booktown are still absorbing the sad news that literary icon Maurice Gee has passed away. He was a superlative and much loved writer for both adults and young people. We extend our sympathies to his family. Moe mai rā, Maurice.
RIP to ANZL Fellow Maurice Gee. He was a literary giant and marvellous writer whose extensive list of works enriched the lives of so many of us. Haere rā, Maurice Gee. Thank you for the stories you brought into this world.
