That is really interesting. I have never heard of Essie Summers which is quite sad, especially considering that I lived in Dunedin for many years. It would be fantastic if she was recognised for her work in literature. Maybe then she'd be more well known.
Thank you for the post.

Yes, it's pretty clear just how much she contributed to both literature and tourism so hopefully one day she will be publicly acknowledged such.
I had no idea she hailed from Dunedin either. :)
