Description

The Stewart Islanders by Olga Sansom. ' ' Island people are commonly sea-salted, self-reliant, adventurous, self-sufficient, independent and individual, yet quick to help each other when the need arises. The Stewart Islanders have all these qualities in double quantity, for they have been not only conditioned by the island environment but, Maori and Pakeha alike, they are so often descended from island forbears, Polynesian or Orkney, or form the sea-coast of Europe. Olga Sansom is herself a Stewart Islander and grew up in its tradition. She knew its old people and remembers them gratefully and with love.' This copy is well read with a dust jacket that has much wear and creaing - but the book remains strong and a popular edition.
