Toroa, The Royal Albatross
by Te Aorere Riddell, 32pp hardback, Huia Publishers, Wellington 2003, RRP$19.94. Initially a children’s book in Maori, this one has been translated into English for the wider audience it obviously deserves; it tells of the species which nests on Taiaroa Head on Otago Peninsula. The presentation
is a colourful collage, and the simple text usefully fills in the facts about the birds and their conservation. Toroa offers interesting cultural perspectives, in the context of Forest and Bird’s campaign to save the albatrosses of the Southern Ocean.
