**The number-one bestseller**
The story of how an extraordinary childhood shaped an extraordinary life
On the West Coast of the South Island, past deep fiords and snow-capped
mountains, Chris Long grew up two days' hike from the nearest road. He was born
into the country's most isolated family, his parents committed to freedom from
capitalist society and connection to the natural world.
In this inspiring memoir, Chris describes a childhood with nature on his
doorstep - helping his father catch crayfish and his mother grow vegetables,
playing with toys crafted from driftwood and jade, and learning to live in the
wild - until, in his teenage years, he began to wonder: could he survive in the
wider world?
By the son of the authors of A Life on Gorge River and A Wife on Gorge River,
The Boy from Gorge River is an enthralling account of chasing adventure while
forever staying true to where you come from.
