Christine Fernyhough, author of  The Albino Kiwi & Other Rarities; a curated selection from the author’s collection.

Christine Fernyhough is a philanthropist, sheep farmer, collector, and author whose many passions converge around a deep love of New Zealand and its people. Co-founder of Books in Homes with Alan Duff in 1994, she has dedicated decades to education and community, recognised with an ONZM and later a CNZM for her contributions. In 2004 she purchased Castle Hill Station in the Canterbury Alps, later sharing the story in her best-selling memoir The Road to Castle Hill. Her collecting life found expression through the Museum of the Everyday, established in 2015, and the 2019 publication Mid-Century Living: The Butterfly House Collection.
