Описание: This pioneering study, originally published 1899-1901 and reissued here in the enlarged edition of 1910, was written by a retired New Zealand government surveyor turned ethnologist. It covers the inter-tribal `Musket Wars` of the early nineteenth century, and provides fascinating insights into the European reception of Maori oral traditions.

Описание: Maori myths and legends have an important role in transmitting and regenerating traditional knowledge. Yet as Ross Calman points out in his introduction to this new edition, they are also simply great yarns reflective of a time when telling and listening to stories was a key leisure activity in Maorii society. Favourite Maori Legends is an invitation to enjoy over 30 of the most memorable legends, grouped into themes of the spirit world, patupaiarehe (ghosts), taniwha, supernatural creatures, heroes and deeds of daring. Concise yet complete, these gripping stories are enlivened by the timeless illustrations of Roger Hart."

Описание: This 1864 publication analyses the New Zealand Taranaki Wars of the early 1860s, probing the causes behind the deterioration of relations between Maori and Europeans. The author, a former Civil Commissioner for the Waikato region, both criticises errors by the British administration and describes political wrangling within the Maori community.
