Old New Zealand is a historical novel written by Frederick Edward Maning and published in 1884. The book is set in the early 19th century and tells the story of the author's experiences in New Zealand during the period of British colonization. The novel is divided into two parts, the first of which is a collection of anecdotes and stories about the Maori people and their way of life. The second part of the book is a historical account of the war between the British and Maori tribes in the north of New Zealand, led by the Maori chief Hone Heke. Maning, who had lived among the Maori people for many years, provides a unique perspective on the conflict and offers a sympathetic portrayal of the Maori people and their struggle to defend their land and way of life against British imperialism. The book is considered a classic of New Zealand literature and offers valuable insights into the history and culture of the Maori people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
