There is nothing more interesting in the world than people. And the people of Auckland - their wives and lovers, their loves and hates, their pets and children, their sickness and health - are no different from any other except for the wry and whimsical view of them, their experiences and their lives, as reported by the Auckland-born author of this diverse collection of short stories. Auckland's original inhabitants -the Maori of Polynesia - figure largely in the city's history and it is significant that this collection ends with a fable-like story of how the city's pre-European past is inextricably linked to the Auckland of today. This book is an excellent companion to the author's collection of New Zealand short stories, The Dolphin and other stories.
