Local Description

1954 new edition booklet.

Description

Secondhand.

First published in 1923, this booklet details some of the Maori tales of the Port Hills principally narrated by Hone Taare Tikao.

"This interesting little book... is now presented in a modern form with illustrations specially drawn by Mr Russell Clark. The author's text is virtually unchanged, only minor alterations have been made to give uniformity to the spelling of Maori tribal and personal names, and to bring up to date references to roads and physical features which have changed in the last thiry years."
