A Sting in the Tale: The Best of the Bush from 'Big Al' Lester

Author(s): Big Al Lester

Hunting

'Big Al' Lester is the modern-day master of the hunting genre.


 A Sting in the Tale is a winning combination of his best, much-loved yarns with a few new ones thrown in for good measure, all showcasing Al's characteristic sense of humour.


Traversing the length and breadth of New Zealand, 'Big Al' and his trusty companions regale with stories of all manner of beasts who got in the way, off-track trailing and, ultimately, good times enjoyed with good mates.
