Publisher's Synopsis
A brand new, fully revised edition of the best-selling New Zealand Traditions & Folkore, first published in 1993. This new edition covers more than 700 updated anecdotes, ideas and traditions that we share as New Zealanders, and which make us different from Australia, England, the United States or any other part of the English-speaking world. Some traditions date back to early colonial times while others reflect our technical innovation as well as our rapidly changing urban life. All in all, A-Z of Kiwi Fact & Folklore provides a fascinating journey back to the roots of our Kiwi culture.
