North Shore Literary Walks

Some of New Zealand’s most enduring short stories, plays, poems and novels were written on, and at least to some extent inspired by, the North Shore. Today North Shore City continues to be home to many of the country’s leading writers.Long attracted to the area by its beaches, easy-going way of life and proximity to, but physical separation from, the central city, the writers who have lived or still live here have responded by making the area one of unique literary significance in New Zealand.
