Description

Rangatira (The High-born). A Polynesian Saga by Norman B. Tindale and Harold A. Lindsay. Illustrated by Douglas F. Maxted. Ex Library Book with all the usual stamps and markings. The Island had become too small for its people. Soon there would not be enough breadfruit and bananas to go around. So when the wind brought a lone old mariner, Rehua, canoe-chief, from a far place to their shores, the Maori saw him as an Answer. Under his wise direction, the Islanders carved from a great tree a sea-worthy canoe for thirty of their best people - four youngsters, Maui and Hauka, and the girls Kura and Ngaio, among them. With coconuts, seedling plants, and two mother dogs ready to litter, the Rangatira - the high-born - began their perilous journey into the unknown in search of a new home. The dust jacket is well worn with many chips and small tears, price is unclipped and now covered with Mylar. The book is no longer square and there are some small ink stains on several early pages. Some tape repair to the inside front page binding and an overuse of paste on the back inside page but overal the book remains complete and tidy for an ex Library book.
