New Zealand Post Book Awards 2012 Finalists Announced
A diverse and exciting range of books have today been announced as finalists for the 2012 New Zealand Post Book Awards.
The finalists – selected from 160 entries - include a biography of Captain William Bligh (the target of naval history’s most famous mutiny), explorations of New Zealand native trees, pottery and cloaks, and a detailed re-examination of one of New Zealand’s most shocking murders – the Parker and Hulme case.
That crime previously inspired one of New Zealand’s best regarded films – Heavenly Creatures – a movie which features in another of this year’s New Zealand Post Book Awards finalists, New Zealand Film: an Illustrated History published by Te Papa Press with the Film Archive in July 2011.
