description: New Zealand Short Stories. Second Series. Selected with an Introduction by C. K. Stead. 'This collection represents the New Zealand short story since the publication of D. M. Davin's anthology in 1954. The emphasis is on new developments. Older writers (Sargeson, Finlayson, Courage) are shown extending their interests into new areas; younger ones (Duggan, Ballantyne, Frame, Middleton) are seen now as mature talents; and there is a selection of works by a dozen new writers, some of whom have made a reputation in England as well as in their own country, but none of them previously represented in any anthology.
