Hurley, FRPSNZ Now available, in almost 110 A4 pages, an alphabetical listing of the references to the many New Zealand cinderellas found in journals and newsletters from across the world. Included are all articles on New Zealand Cinderellas articles on other Cinderellas of particular interest to New Zealand articles by New Zealand authors on overseas Cinderellas articles in New Zealand journals on Cinderellas from other countries. The author has taken a fairly liberal interpretation of the meaning of the term "Cinderella" for the sake of inclusion rather than exclusion.. Price to members is NZ$15.00 (incl. GST) and NZ$20.00 (incl. GST) to non-members. Review here.
