"Lauris Edmond has attempted, in her selection of 237 letters out of the nine hundred in the Turnbull library, to do justice to the complex and engaging personality of their writer. The bulk of the letters are concerned with literary matters, but many of the remainder - to politicians, public servants, editors and businessmen - take up the cudgels in support of causes or in protest at injustice." - from dust-jacket blurb. .
