Only in the islands of New Zealand are these ancient and curious birds - the kiwis - found, and this book brings together much that has been learned since their earliest sightings to the present time. The series of paintings and drawings by Ray Harris-Ching reveal kiwis in original and unexpected ways. The book is founded on a great deal of research and field trips, and describes in detail the way of life, habits and visual characteristics of kiwis as well as offering a history of the bird's discovery, its importance to the Maori and its place as a symbol and object of great affection in the hearts of New Zealanders. 189 pages with 75 colour and black and white illustrations add to this instructive book.

All books are sent free by courier postage within New Zealand.
