[This] is a revision of A.W. Reed's Treasury of Māori Exploration (1977) ... reworked for the 21st century, [it] presents A.W. Reed's lively retellings of these classic stories of waka, voyaging and discovery. The stories gathered together here are central to Māori. Sourced from tribal traditions throughout the country, they also explain many familiar New Zealand place names - an interesting subject in its own right"--Publisher's description.
