Barry Crump's rattling good yarn "Wild Pork and Watercress" has been made into a rattling good movie: "Hunt For the Wilderpeople", directed and written by Taika Waititi, and starring incomparable Sam Neill and Julian Dennison.
Over his lifetime, Barry Crump was married five times and had nine sons, so I wonder how he found the time for all his writing, but write he did, in a simple, direct narrative voice which was straight to the point.
He also acted in many TV commercials, including for Speight's Beer:
So grap yourself a beer - Speight's, if available - and settle in for an enjoyable read of "Wild Pork and Watercress", after which you may go onto ebay and order your own copy of "Hunt For the Wilderpeople".
