A writing career spanning 50 years has taken Neville Peat around the world, across Aotearoa, and to the very outer reaches of New Zealand's marine realm.
Neville has written more than 40 books over that career, covering themes of geography, history and the natural environment, but its the country's many islands that are the subject of his latest book.
Home is an Island is a tribute to New Zealand's island character, and to the diversity of the islands in our waters; from the tropics to the ice.
During his travels as journalist, a publicist and adventurer, Neville Peat has visited many of these islands and he's chosen eight of them to share short stories and essays that reveal their life, times and diverse histories.
