Where the White Man Treads - Across The Pathway Of The Maori (Hardcover, 2nd REV ed.)

Originally published in 1928, this book is a comprehensive study of the Maori people - their inner lives, customs and beliefs - by one who lived amongst them during a time before modern western civilisation had much altered their existence. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
