Sir James McNeish ’44 is one of New Zealand’s most prolific writers. Touchstones, his 26th book, is the featured reading on the RadioNZ Nine to Noon programme for the next two weeks, approx 10.40am start.

An account by James McNeish of the people in his life who shaped his perspective: “a gallery of people – rebels, outsiders, romantics, enlightened misfits and illiterates – who have touched me in life.” McNeish told the Christchurch Weekend Press that Touchstones is ‘a kind of disguised autobiography, a bit like Dan Davins Closing Times, sharing that memoirs focus not on the writer but on important people in his life, and also, in McNeishs case, on an important place. – Wonder if there are any Auckland Grammar School references???
