This sculpture, commissioned by the Molly Morpeth Canaday Trust and crafted by Jonathon Campbell in 2007, honors the renowned New Zealand author Margaret Mahy.

A native of Whakatāne, Mahy's imaginative works have left an indelible mark on literature. This piece celebrates her contributions and stands as a beacon of creativity in the community.
