A collection of short stories from Kingi McKinnon; a nostalgic reflection of the life of rural Maori youth in our recent past. Includes humorous stories of sibling rivalry and first love as well as the heart-wrenching Hohepa's Goodbye and the spine-chilling Mauri of the Swamp - an evocative story of the power of a long-lost taonga. Some of these stories have been published before in School Journals or anthologies, but this is a new collection.
