Originally published in 2001, A City Possessed is the harrowing account of one of New Zealand’s most high-profile criminal cases – a story of child sexual abuse allegations, gender politics and the law. In detailing the events of the 1990s that led up to and surrounded the allegations made against several staff of the Christchurch Civic Crčche, author Lynley Hood shows how and why such a case could happen. A City Possessed won the Montana Medal for Non-Fiction at the 2002 Montana New Zealand Book Awards. Her penetrating analysis of the social and legal processes by which the conviction of Peter Ellis was obtained, and repeatedly upheld, raises major issues for our justice system and the way we see ourselves. Peter Ellis served seven years of a 10-year jail sentence for abusing seven children at the Christchurch Civic Crčche. He has always maintained his innocence, and has gained widespread support for what many see as a miscarriage of justice. This paperback edition comes at a time when Peter Ellis and the Christchurch Civic Crčche case have returned to public attention. In July 2019, a terminally ill Ellis was granted a final appeal to the Supreme Court, scheduled for November 2019.

Not good gor medium to larger dogs! Nothing more than a thin satin pillow sheet with crinkle plastic paper inside that can choke your dog if not monitored!

This is a great gift for our dog, but thank goodness she doesn't read.
Size: Newspaper 4 PCS
My puppy loves toys with crackling noises and I purchased these crackling papers. These are well sewn together, double sided and I have not had any problem with these tearing or shredding by her sharp baby teeth. On looking at the "paper" it seems to have articles for a mother of a human baby. The articles have many misspellings and are funny because of that. Since my puppy doesn't have dyslexia, she doesn't seem to notice the errors and enjoys playing with these and dragging them around our home.

Must supervise use
Size: Newspaper 4 PCS
Perfect concept for my puppy golden doodle who loves getting into paper and paper towels. He was obsessed with it when i gave it to him. However 2 minutes later i had to take it from him because he ate through the sheet like nothing. You have to supervise this toy with your baby. Good thing they give you 4! You’ll get about 8 minutes out of this toy. Cute for a party or something though.
