Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
New Zealand is an island nation with many island stories, none more plentiful than those of Matiu/Somes in the center of the harbor capital. From hitherto secret government files, unpublished diaries, reminiscences, interviews and other records David McGill tells the complete story for the first time.
The new millennium marks a fresh start with the restoration of the name Kupe gave the island, the tuatara returned to its ancient habitat, and many zealously guarded secrets at last revealed.
