ABOUT
Margaret Orbell vividly evokes the Maori view of the world, while Geoff Moon's remarkable photographs present the country's landscapes, birds, fish, insects, reptiles and plants.
About 1000 years ago, New Zealand was one of the few parts of the earth's surface still unknown to human beings. Then it was discovered by explorers from tropical Polynesia, the ancestors of the Maori. With a series of ingenious inventions, they adjusted to the very different conditions which life in this new land offered them. Meanwhile the land shaped their thinking and their mythology, folklore, poetry and art forms came to reflect their new environment. In traditional Maori thought all things have life and significance, and everything is related to everything else.
