Beschrijving
A classic New Zealand children's story, Katarina was first published in 1990 and is now available for the first time in Maori.
Based on the true story of Gavin Bishop's great aunt, Katarina is the fascinating story of a young Maori woman's life in the early 1860s. Accompanied by Gavin Bishop's beautiful and authentic illustrations, it tells of Katarina's long and treacherous journey from the Waikato to Otago to join her Scottish husband, and of conflicts between old Maori ways and 'new' Pakeha pioneer ways.
It is also an amazing snapshot of the times - the land wars between the English and Tainui counter-pointed with the gold rush in Gabriel's Gully, Otago.
