The Maori Tohunga and His Spirit World

Originally published in 1948, this reprint quotes the dust jacket of the original edition, "this book deals with strange things, some of which many people will dismiss as mere superstition, but assertions of its non-existence does not dispel the strangeness….there is a world of the unseen and the unknown which surrounds us and interpenetrates us; our spirit apprehends it, our reason cannot explain it". Chapter headings are The Maori Tohunga; Fire Walking; Taniwha and Fire-Drake'; The Wairua of Anatohia Bay; The Wynyard Ghost Story; A Maori Séance; Dream and Tapu; and The Wairua During Trance.
