Later Years
Sir Frederic Truby King died in Wellington on 10 February 1938. He was the first private citizen in New Zealand to be given a state funeral.
Twenty years later he was the first New Zealander to feature on a New Zealand postage stamp.
His babycare method continued in popularity, finding favour in post-war Britain at least until the 1950s.
It featured, controversially, in the 2007 Channel 4 documentary series, Bringing Up Baby, which compared it with the 1960s Benjamin Spock and the 1970s Continuum concept.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“In the course of twenty crowded years one parts with many illusions. I did not wish to lose the early ones. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.”

“That neither present time, nor years unborn
Could to my sight that heavenly face restore.”
