Stanley Writers' Walk

Writers have been attracted to Auckland's North Shore since the 19th century, and in the middle years of the 20th century it became a meeting point out of which a New Zealand literary identity began to emerge. Some of New Zealand's most enduring short stories, plays, poems and novels were written on, and to some extent inspired by, the North Shore. Today North Shore City continues to be home to many of the country's leading writers.
