When my father, a lover of Central Otago and especially the StrathTaieri, was near his end I bought a copy of The Falcon and the Lark for my brother to read to him. He loved it. Neville built a wonderful portrait of Central in his many writings. I had the pleasure of meeting him once and would love to have done so again.
