Country Life: New book explores rural New Zealand through 100 objects

Husband and wife duo Te Radar and Ruth Spencer have partnered on a new book, 'Kiwi Country: Rural New Zealand in 100 Objects'.

Stand-up comedians Te Radar and Ruth Spencer compiled a list of things that make up life in the New Zealand countryside.

The book tells the stories of often-overlooked items that make up the rural experience, such as the ride-on mower and longjohns.

Spencer gained a new appreciation for such objects after learning more about their stories.

The couple partnered with Harper Collins to publish the book.
