Greenstone
used
Author(s): Sylvia Ashton-Warner
The story of Greenstone is loosely based on the authors' own birth family, taking the romantic and legendary - and therefore more palatable - parts and making them into a novel. To the large family, the crippled father with a long heritage, and the mother at war with her employers, Ashton-Warner adds a Māori princess and all the myth and legend she brings with her.
Ex-library.
