Tales of Old Gisborne

An entertaining and humorous account of growing up in a country town, written by these well-known brothers whose family ran the local blacksmith/garage from the 1860s – ‘From Horseshoes to Horsepower’ was the Gardiners’ slogan. Included in the book are many pictures from the brothers’ time and earlier, a section on the Gisborne Cemetery, where Eddie served on the Trust for many years, and a selection of poems composed by Eddie – funny, moving and dramatic. Eddie and Peter Gardiner have both been awarded OAMs for their service to the community.
