The history of a country is the story of its people and the changes in their lives. This book tells the story of New Zealand in a new way, paying greater attention to the lives of the ordinary people and theri familes than other histories have done. It also includes the previously untold stories of many of the young people who came to New Zealand, and tells of their role in its development. All the charaters you would expect to find are here: Hone Heke, Governor Grey, Richard Seddon, Princess Te Puea, and Maui. In addition there are people who are less well known, such as Young Nick, who had his part to play in the discovery of New Zealand; the young Te Taniwha, who saw Captain Cook; and Christina McIlvride, who delivered the mail.
