After ten years in New Zealand, Joe Bennett asked himself what on earth he was doing there. Other than his dogs, what was it about these two small islands on the edge of the world that had kept him - an otherwise restless traveller - for really much longer than they seemed to deserve? Bennett thought he'd better pack his bag and find out. Hitching around both the intriguingly named North and South Islands, with an eye for oddity and a taste for conversation, Bennett began to remind himself of the reasons New Zealand is quietly seducing the rest of the world.

I enjoyed 'A land of Two Halves' very much. I have read a couple of Joe Bennett's other books and enjoyed them too. He is very good at describing the places he travels to, and gives an amusing slant to his writing that makes them fun to read.
I must look out for other books he was written.
