Two Awards for Book

Polson Higgs client William Cottrell, who won two awards at the Montana Book awards recently, is already planning his next book. William is New Zealand's foremost expert on furniture from the colonial era. His book "Furniture of the New Zealand Colonial Era An Illustrated History 1830-1900" won both the reference and anthology section and best first book in the non-fiction category. During his research he found so much new information that he has enough material for another book that will examine the sophisticated nature of society in mid-19th century New Zealand. William and his wife, Simonetta Ferrari run a tourism accommodation business at Gunyah Lodge, a country retreat near Rakaia Gorge.
