The Springing Fern by Roderick Finlayson Whitcombe & Tombs, 17s 6d A novel for young people. ‘The Springing Fern’ covers the period of Maori history from the first arrival of the Pakeha to the 1940s. The episodes in the story first appeared a number of years ago as a series of Primary School Bulletins. Mr Finlayson's understanding of his subject, and his feeling for it, makes this story a moving as well as an exciting one. Any reader over the age of 10 should enjoy it, and will at the same time learn a considerable amount of unobtrusively presented history.
