Glyn Harper’s latest picture book, ‘Gladys Goes To War’ has topped the New Zealand Bestsellers list two weeks in a row.  It tells the incredible true story of Gladys Sandford, a First World War ambulance driver, New Zealand’s first woman pilot and a trailblazer ahead of her time.

With beautiful, heartfelt illustrations by Jenny Cooper, it’s the story of both a true New Zealand heroine, and of the tragedy and bloodshed of WW1.
