Lays Of The Land Of The Maori And Moa (1884)

Lays of the Land of the Maori and Moa is a book written by Thomas Bracken and published in 1884. The book is a collection of poems that celebrate the culture and history of the Maori people of New Zealand, as well as the extinct moa bird that once roamed the land. The poems are written in a lyrical style and cover a range of topics, from the beauty of the landscape to the bravery of Maori warriors. Bracken, who was born in Ireland but lived most of his life in New Zealand, was a prominent poet and journalist in his time. He was particularly interested in Maori culture and wrote several works that sought to preserve and celebrate it. Lays of the Land of the Maori and Moa is considered one of his most important works and is still read and studied today for its insights into Maori history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
