Book Description

Publication Date: November 8, 2009

Praise for Graham Reid's 'Postcards From Elsewhere', winner of the 2006 Whitcoulls Travel Book of the Year: "His marvellous ability with words not only delivers well-written passages that give the reader an enhanced sense of location, but also allow historical information to be easily digested." -- New Zealand Herald "His description of a night in Breaux Bridge in the heart of Louisiana Cajun country is a gem... You can smell the bayou." -- North and South "If you listened to him telling these stories at dinner, you'd be entertained and frequently informed." -- The Listener

About the Author

Graham Reid is a freelance journalist living off his wits and his wife. Born in Scotland and educated in Auckland, New Zealand, Graham has a leisurely-acquired degree that reflects either a broad range of interests or an embarrassing lack of focus. He has papers in Chinese Philosophy, Italian Film and Literature, Botany, Zoology and a whole swag in English and Art History. His writing has covered the arts, diplomacy and foreign affairs, and travel. As well as having won the Media Peace Award and prizes at the Cathay Pacific Travel Media awards, he is one of New Zealand's best known music journalists. His first travel book 'Postcards from Elsewhere' won the 2006 Travcom Whitcoulls Travel Book of the Year award.
