A beautiful soft-cover, colour book titled ‘Christchurch Dreaming’ written by Mary Hobbs has just been published by HarperCollins, which celebrates all that is great about the people, the city of Christchurch and the Canterbury region.

A perfect Christmas present and a lovely coffee table addition, Christchurch Dreaming is the ideal read for those who love Christchurch and Canterbury. It is full of all that is great about the region and focuses on positive concepts for the city’s future.

Mary has donated a percentage of her royalties from the book to the Salvation Army. HarperCollins, the publishers - as well as printing the book at extra cost in New Zealand - are also making a contribution to the Christchurch rebuild.
