Description
Cockle Cove in the Bay of Many Coves in the Marlborough Sounds, is accessible only by water. Lorna Manson’s parents bought land there in 1925, when the area was being cleared for a dairy farm and when whaling still occurred in the outer Sounds. Ada and Ernest Cull wanted to preserve the bush and bay as the haven it was — and is. …. Over the years a procession of friends, family and strangers have basked in the cove – a place where fishing and sitting on the jetty, thinking, can fill a whole day. In her warm and well illustrated account, Lorna writes of the incidents, politics, wildlife and boats she’s experienced, and the people who – answering the call of the cove – have dropped anchor in this small slice of paradise.
