| Publisher Description: 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.
