About the author

Lady (Mary Anne) Barker

Lady (Mary Anne) Barker

1831–1911

A sharp-eyed Victorian traveler and memoirist, she turned an unusually adventurous life into vivid books about colonial New Zealand and the wider British Empire. Her best-known work, Station Life in New Zealand, is still remembered for its lively, personal view of settler life.
