The subsequent August 1964 order by the Minister of Education caused a controversy and all copies in schools were recalled and shredded, as were all unsold copies in the Government Bookshops chain. Westra had the book republished the next year by Caxton Press of Christchurch. A new edition with photographs taken of the same family in 1998 was published by Ans Westra and Mark Amery in 2011. (en)
