J.C. Squire (1884-1958) bestrode the literary world of the inter-war era like a colossus.

"This book is a companion to the four volume series New Zealand Historic Sites (available as kindle E books on Amazon), and gives an introductory history that is concise in extent, yet most detailed in its content. Initially it considers the geological background and human settlement (both Maori and European), then explores the Land Wars, Political History and Transport developments. Only with such historical information to hand can the historic sites in the other volumes be fully understood in their context. There is a discussion of the Social History with major players, and of especial value an analysis of the Cultural Attributes of art, architecture and literature. The book ends with the Natural History for which New Zealand is famed, "A resplendent jewel within the Pacific.""--Back cover.
