Early NZ | Secondhand

Published by Oxford University Press, 1935, London, 142 pages. "Mr Alan Mulgan writes with knowledge of a country which he loves with passionate devotion, as indeed I, who have been but a temporary sojourner therein, do likewise. He displays within these pages not merely the ripened fruits of historical and topical research, presented with a lightness of touch which defies boredom, but a wealth of poetical afflatus and a capacity for word-painting which make perusal of this book a source of intellectual and spiritual refreshment." - Foreword "It is not purely a guide-book, but it describes the chief wonders and beauties of the country." - Preface
