O Te Raki: Maori Legends of the North by Florence Keene Pauls Book Arcade, 21/- Not a great deal has so far been published concerning the legends of the North. ‘O Te Raki’, a pioneer work in the field, gives pleasantly written accounts of stories which range in their setting from Te Reinga in the north to the Kaipara district in the south. There are stories concerning almost every important centre of population, and also an interesting section on fishing customs. The fine illustrations by Eric Lee-Johnson show, as they look today, many of the places which are mentioned in the stories. ‘O Te Raki’ is particularly well produced, and is certainly one of the most attractive books to have been written about the North.
