"This is the true story of James Hamlin who came to New Zealand at a time when cannibalism was still being practised by the Maoris. For nearly forty years he lived and brought up a large family under the most primitive conditions on the outskirts of civilisation and beyond the reach of British law and order. He acted as preacher, teacher, doctor, unofficial magistrate and general peacemaker. That he was held in high regard by the Maoris is undoubted. He had a remarkable natural ability with the spoken Maori language and was described in a letter written by a Maori, as a half-caste, a Maori inside and a Pakeha outside."
