Reviews

[Rebecca Thomason · Rating 5 out of 5]

Incredibly detailed and dense with information about New Zealand from every angle. Given it was written in the 1850s, there will obviously be outdated details on sciences that have advanced, like geology, but a worthy read. The author clearly loved the place and its people. Amazingly rich with information.
