Hundreds of illustrations by celebrated New Zealand author Gavin Bishop will be headed to the national museum in Wellington after his work was deemed to be of national significance.
The Christchurch-based 79-year-old has illustrated for Joy Cowley in books like Cowshed Christmas, as well as his own books, most recently Atua: Māori Gods and Heroes.
He speaks to Mark Leishman.
