Who is Philip Temple?
Philip Temple is a Dunedin-based New Zealand author of novels, children's stories, and non-fiction. His work is characterised by a strong association with the outdoors and New Zealand ecology.
His early work was non-fiction, describing mountaineering expeditions to New Guinea and New Zealand and includes Nawok! Castles in the Air: Men and Mountains in New Zealand and The World at Their Feet.
Following this Temple produced a number of novels - The Explorer, Stations, Beak of the Moon, Sam, Dark of the Moon, and To Each His Own - and many children's books, among which the most notable are The Legend of the Kea, Kakapo, Parrot of the Night, and Kotuku, Flight of the White Heron.
