Stevan Treleaven Eldred-Grigg is a New Zealand author of nine novels, eight history books and various essays and short stories.

Writings

In 1987 he published his first novel, Oracles and Miracles, the story of two sisters growing up in Christchurch before and during World War II.[1] Since then he has written several fiction and non-fiction books. Kaput! focuses on Europe and portrays an ordinary housewife struggling to deal with day-to-day life in wartime Berlin during the period of the Third Reich in Germany.

Eldred-Grigg was the first living New Zealand writer of literary fiction to have had a novel translated into Chinese when Oracles and Miracles, was published in Shanghai in 2002 under the title ‘剩’贤奇迹.[2][1]

Eldred-Grigg's three most recent books are Diggers, Hatters & Whores, a history of gold rushes in New Zealand; The Great Wrong War, a history of New Zealand during World War I; and People, People, People (2011, ISBN 978-1-86953-813-2), a very brief history of New Zealand from 1200 to 2000.[3]
