Good hardback, no jacket. Red boards are faded, marked, rubbed and bumped with quite a large dent to rear corner and a dint to front cover. Binding firm, no inscriptions, pages very good, minor foxing and marks. 269 pages, illustrated.
Sir Apirana Ngata (1874-1950), Member of Parliament for nearly forty years and a cabinet minister, and Sir Peter Buck (1877-1951), a medical practitioner and politician turned anthropologist, wrote to each other faithfully for a quarter of a century. Through their eloquent correspondence emerges not only a moving account of the lives of two highly notable Maoris, but also a vivid picture of the politics, Maori affairs, and Polynesian culture of the time.
