Description

The Taniwha of Wellington Harbour, by Moira Wairama, retells the legend of Whātaitai and Ngake.

Discover the legend of how Wellington Harbour was created in this beautifully illustrated paperback. If you have seen the dramatic Pepper’s Ghost rendition of this legend at Wellington Museum then this book is the perfect souvenir.
