The Little Book Of Kiwiana
Hardback Edition: 1
For the last 1000 years, since the Maori Polynesians first arrived, New Zealand has been seen as a long way away and truly believes that it is on the edge, so much so that it often gets left off world maps!
It's a country of extremes - with a land mass about 10% bigger than the UK with approximately 60 million fewer people living there. In the North the climate is sub-tropical, the islands to the south are called Sub-Antarctic for a reason. The mountains reach heights five times that of those in the UK, there are volcanoes, earthquakes and extreme weather.
With chapters on history, cultural icons and kitsch The Little Book of Kiwiana helps you explore this unique and wonderful country and discover so much more about the quirky things that contribute to a sense of nationhood that represent all that is New Zealand.
