About this listen

Barry Crump was one of New Zealand’s most popular authors of all time. From A Good Keen Man in 1960 through to his death in 1996, over a million copies of the 24 books he wrote were sold. He was a superb storyteller, who captured perfectly the laconic humor and the lifestyle of the rugged Kiwi outdoors man. His ability to craft a tale that is both moving and funny is superbly illustrated by the huge international success of the movie Hunt for the Wilderpeople, which is based on his book Wild Pork and Watercress.

Almost all of Barry Crump’s books are now out of print. A new volume of collected stories published in 2017 remedied that. And the five classic yarns comprising that volume are available as separate titles - A Good Keen Man, Bullock Creek, Gold and Greenstone, Puha Road, and Wild Pork and Watercress.

My brother and I loved this book as a kids, it still holds fond memories. I now read to my kids.
It’s is a book best suited to adventurous young boys and some girl’s too, especially kiwis.
Thanks Martin.

I just loved it. Anyone who's got an interest in the outdoors and doesnt mind hearing stories (about life as a culler) should check this out.

Theres only A good keen man on here which is 1 of the 5 collected stories. But i would get over to another well known audiobokk service and check out the others. Bullock creek is terrific and obviously 'wild pork and watercress' is too. I have to admit I only heard of Barry Crump after the movie Hunt for the wilderpeople - which is a great movie too - and im so glad I checked out his books. Martin does a great job at narrating and his delivery really adds to it.

Authentic, funny, and hard times living in the bush
