In Tread Softly For You Tread On My Life, Michael King (1945-2004) — New Zealand's most distinguished historian and author of the celebrated Penguin History of New Zealand — examines the issues that confront biographers. Part memoir, part reflection on the biographer's craft, it considers the obligations a biographer owes to subject and readers, and the necessary tension between compassionate truth and literary responsibility. One of two reflective autobiographical essay collections by New Zealand's greatest historian, who was tragically killed in a car accident in 2004.
