Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. How many parents have exclaimed, "What did we do to to have a child like this?" To Catch A Butterfly is a book about relationships, specifically the relationship between parent and daughter. Equally, it could be viewed as a book which explores the relationship from the daughter's point of vi…ew: "How come I got parents like this?" In this book Barrie Allom, author of the controversial autobiography "Beyond Belief"", writes candidly of a much loved, but not always understood, daughter - one who, like he did, walked outside the frame of conventionality, leaving a trail of heart-searching questions. To Catch A Butterfly is an honest and sensitive account of a parent's struggle to understand a young woman emerging into adulthood. But, as the author says, "This book does not promise slick answers and quick fixes; it simply offers companionship to others on the pathway."

Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This copy has a small ownership stamp and otherwise appears unread. Dear Tyrant, as his wife called him, is the story of Albert James Allom (1825-1909), his family and childhood, his adventurous youth, his relationship with Edward Gibbon Wakefield, his struggle for success, and his…philosophy of life. His story begins in London then moves to New Zealand and, later, the West Indies before he returns to New Zealand. Later again, seven years are spent in Tasmania before a final return to New Zealand. In New Zealand he was a survey cadet for the New Zealand Company in Wellington, Manawatu and Otago before becoming an enterprising run-holder in the Wairarapa, a mining and farming estate manager on Great Barrier Island, the registrar of mines at Thames and Ohinemuri goldfields, and eventually a very active retiree in Auckland. The story of his life is laced with human insight, humour and tragedy. Many notable figures during New Zealand's colonial era appear in Allom's own writings which add immediacy to the narrative and there are poignant passages about his beloved wife, Eliza, and their family of nine children.
