Book Synopsis Legends of Aotearoa by : Chris Winitana
Book excerpt: "Now, in this book, Chris Winitana re-tells fourteen of the favourite stories of the Maori people, accompanied by over one hundred colour photograghs by Andy Reisinger that show the paradise that was - and is - New Zealand. The book includes many of the best-known stories - the legends of Maui, Kupe, the Arawa canoe, Rona and the moon - and some less well known, such as the legend of the walking mountains, the fires of the earth, the flight of the greenstone people and the story of Wakatipu. The legends cover tribal areas from all around New Zealand, reflecting the breadth of the photography, from isolated Northland beaches to lofty alpine heights."--BOOK JACKET.
