The Maori of New Zealand despised them and called them 'black fellas'. [ . . . ] In this book historian and writer Michael King clears away all the nonsense, rumour and vilification that have surrounded the Moriori. He identifies clearly who they were and where they came from." - from the dust wrapper blurb. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall
