1 y separately published work icon Vintage Crop : A Story from the Hunter Valley Zeny Giles , Dangar : Catchfire Press , 1999 Z1051354 1999 single work short story

'This delightful short story had been one of the prizewinners in the ABC Radio National Books and Writing competition in 1995. It not only evokes a Greek migrant response to the Hunter Valley wineries, from an amusingly unsympathetic perspective, but also includes an excellent recipe for the vine leaf rolls that the story focuses upon.'
