Paperback. Condition: Good. The author's reflections on the Kapiti coast, complemented by water colour illustrations.

Hardcover. Condition: VG+. Dust Jacket Condition: VG. 1st. 1st. 22 cm By 15cm. Octavius Hadfield (1814-1904) was an important figure in the early European settlement of NZ, particularly in the Otaki coastal area north-west of Wellington. While primarily a missionary he was also active and influential in civic affairs and among the Maori people, in times that were often troubled. He later became Bishop of Wellington where his good works, both eccleastical and secular, continued.
