Description

The Greenstone Door by William Satchell. An Historical novel, which was first published in 1914, about early New Zealand and the Maori Race of people. In 'The Greenstone Door', Mr. William Satchell has put back the clock of time over a hundred years, and we see civilisation at grips with Cannibalism. We see the halcyon days of the Maori race, when the valley of the Waikato was golden with wheat and its roadways and native villages embowered in orchards. We see the sky darken with the onset of war and the final sealing of the bond of peace in the blood of white man and Maori. It is fitting that the nationals of our commonwealth should know one another's history, for only with knowledge can come the respect and understanding necessary to cement the bond of their union, and in this splendid romance the past of New Zealand lives again. From the back cover of this 1961 Badger Books reprint edition. The book has light to medium general wear with some small tears on the spine but overall tight and bright.
