Calling all fans of film art, New Zealand History or Landscape
Photography!
We have an exclusive prize for one lucky monkey who places a pre-order for Seasons
of Erewhon – A beautiful framed print from the book.
Nestled within the majestic Southern Alps, and neighbouring the equally
historic Mesopotamia and Mount Potts stations, Lord of
the Rings fans will recognise this fabled New Zealand high country as the
backdrop for The
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. The legendary Erewhon Station is a
13,500-hectare property at the headwaters of the Rangitata River,
Canterbury.
Erewhon is a place with a strong respect for the past, its forebears and the
way they eked an honest living from the land, working with the weather and
rivers. With no beginning and no end, the cycle of life in the high country
continues as it always has. These soaring mountains and cavernous valleys look
the same as when explorers trekked on horseback 150 years ago – only the
seasons change.

We were just winding down for the day yesterday when our shipment of The
World of Ice and Fire arrived! This awesome book deserves a proper
look so we took some shots showing the gorgeous content George R.R. Martin has
provided.
The World of Ice and Fire is essentially a history of
Westeros and beyond; the abundance of work previously existed only in George
R.R. Martin's own notes. For the first time we can have a real look at the
world supporting everyone's favourite fantasy saga. Each segment is
illustrated with stunning artwork from some of the most noted fantasy
artists.
This is truly not to be missed and would be the perfect gift for fans of the
novels or TV series. Jump over to The
World of Ice and Fire page to see more!
