Maori Myths and Legendary Tales – A.w.Reed, Illustrated by Dennis Turner
This book was first published in 1946 as Myths and Legends of Maoriland, and subsequently reprinted four times before the second edition was published in 1958, followed by the third edition in 1961. It went on to become one of New Zealand’s most recognised books of the genre, winning an Esther Glen medal for the best children’s book in 1947, and enjoyed considerable popularity in London, New York and Australia.
This new edition retains the work of illustrator Dennis Turner and is presented with a stunning new cover based on the ‘Rangi and Papa’ mural, by highly acclaimed artist Cliff Whiting, which now hangs in the Beehive in Wellington.
