Poenamo Revisited By Russell Stone. A facsimile of the 1898 edition of Poenamo by Sir John Logan Campbell.

Publisher: Godwit, New Zealand, 2012.

Excellent near new hardback, blue marbled boards with blue faux leather spine, gilt lettering to spine. No inscriptions, binding firm, minor compression to spine ends. Orange title band folded around covers. 315 pages, illustrated.

Imagine you are 23 years old, newly arrived in a country on the far side of the world where there are only a handful of other white men to keep you company. Imagine that you are fearless, bursting with energy and entrepreneurial resolve. Imagine that you are also well educated, a shrewd observer and a gifted writer. Four decades on you are one of the colony's wealthiest and best known citizens and politicians, and you sit down to remember those amazing years in the 1840s when the world was your oyster. This is the achievement of Sir John Logan Campbell's fascinating memoir/travelogue Poenamo, which continues to be a unique insight into early New Zealand. Republished as a complete fascimile of the 1889 reissue, Poenamo Revisited not only brings this extraordinary, vivid, timeless and entertaining book back into circulation but also offers a compelling insight into Campbell the man and the author, and the colonial society he helped build and in which he came to hold such sway. Handsomely produced and published in the 100th year since Campbell's death, this book is a taonga for all Aucklanders, in particular, to treasure. The hardback is beautifully packaged: quarter-bound with a belly band, and printed inside on a mixed of paper stocks. It is richly illustrated with early paintings and lithographs.

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