When he left New Zealand in 1933, he had declared “I think I’m going to have the best year of my life”. That confident expectation carried him through the first half of the thirties, but the growing political unrest in Europe severely dampened his enthusiasm (“It'’s a hell of a world we live in”), made him more and more conscious of his separation from whatever ‘home’ had come to mean, and strengthened his desire to see again his parents, his wife, and the son he scarcely knew. It was a desire that remained unfulfilled, his life ended by his own hand.

Her poetry was championed by influential critics such as Curnow and Brasch, and her prominent place in Curnow's anthologies ensured that she remained an influential figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in England, Bethell spent her childhood in relative wealth and comfort in Canterbury; was educated in Oxford and Switzerland; and then spent the next thirty years travelling between New Zealand and the England she thought of as home. It was not until after the Armistice that she returned permanently to New Zealand, although even then she was still drawn to return to ‘loved and lost London’. With her dear friend Effie Pollen, she settled on the slopes of the Cashmere Hills, where she toiled to make a garden out of the heavy soil. In that solitary occupation, amidst a silence that she described as ‘vibrant with words’, she began to write poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUrsula Bethell was a prolific letter writer. This volume publishes a rich collection of letters that span almost all of her life, beginning with a quiet domestic note from a seven-year-old to her mother, and ending with an even briefer note, dictated when she is too ill to write, just after her 70th birthday. These letters (few of which have ever been published before) allow her to tell her own life story, in a narration that can be earnestly solemn or gaily witty, that records moments of joy and of sorrow, but that emerges finally as an intensely moving account of one woman's attempt to come to terms with the grief that dominated her final years.

Nessie Moncrieff was one of several New Zealanders who, in different ways, engaged in humanitarian and reconstruction work in China during that country’s tumultuous 1930s and 40s, and her story has an important place in the history of New Zealand’s relationship with China.’ —Pauline Keating, History programme, Victoria University of Wellington\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarbara Francis\u003c\/strong\u003e came to Wellington in 1956 to study at the Teachers’ Training College. She met Nessie Moncrieff through the Student Christian Movement (SCM), and only later discovered she was in fact Agnes Moncrieff. In 1959, as an SCM travelling secretary, she boarded with Nessie in her Wellington home, and their friendship continued until Nessie’s death. Barbara worked as a teacher and raised her family in Christchurch, returning to live in Wellington in 2005. It was then she learned that Nessie’s letters from China were in the Alexander Turnbull Library and she began typing up and assembling them so that Nessie’s story could be shared.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Te Herenga Waka University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50728865202487,"sku":"9781776560882","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/5048\/7607\/files\/You_Do_Not_Travel_in_China_at_Full_Moon__09117.jpg?v=1752012816"},{"product_id":"nga-korero-a-reweti-kohere-ma-new-edition","title":"Nga kōrero a Reweti Kohere mā (new edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mebooks.co.nz\/nga-korero-a-reweti-kohere-ma-new-edition-ebook\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-58zklai\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/blobid0.png?t=1619991380\" alt=\"\" width=\"183\" height=\"50\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eI tipu mai a Reweti i Oruatua.
