interesting match of writing and pictures. i liked the enlargement of sections of the pictures.

This book series has very little in the way of photos and maps but instead focuses on the society of NZ. It tells about the almost side by side English/Maori culture here, the feelings towards nearby Aussies, work, leisure and even table manners. At first I missed having lots of color photos, as NZ is a very green country, but the info on what the people are like gives more of an idea about a country.

Visited this display when moved to Singapore National Gallery
