The life of one of Hāwera s most famous sons is to be detailed in a soon-to-be completed book called Towering Talent.
Its author Rolland McKellar writes about Ronald Hugh Morrieson, one of the country s most successful writers. Hope I m not one of those buggers famous when dead, one of Taranaki s most famous writers, Ronald Hugh Morrieson, once said.
The comment was made to author Maurice Shadbolt who visited Morrieson twice in Hāwera, several years apart.
