34 Short Stories: The Dan Davin Winners

34 Short Stories is a vibrant assortment of tales from the imaginations of both established authors and emerging writers. Beginning in 1995, the Dan Davin Literary Award was launched as a competition for senior high-school students but grew to include junior student and adult sections. The award is now open to all Southland writers bold enough to take up the challenge. Within these pages, the past winners are presented for the first time in one commemorative book, a tribute to Southland’s great storyteller, Dan Davin (1913 – 1990).
