About this audiobook
A riveting tale of survival in a far away land to stimulate your imagination and develop character.
Miraculously unabridged, Maori and Settler by G. A. Henty explores the adventures, misfortunes, and joys of the Renshaw family, who emigrate to New Zealand in the 19th century after suffering a financial disaster that wipes out the family savings. The story follows the head of the family, Wilfred, as they emigrate to New Zealand in the 1860’s in hope of a better life.
Embarking on an arduous journey from London aboard the Flying Scud, they make new friends, including the affable and knowledgeable Mr. Atherton, with whom they share adventures as they sail to the other side of the globe.
The Renshaws find life in New Zealand tough, but rewarding—until the trouble begins to brew. Will Wilfrid and his family lose all for which they have worked when a strange religion inspires many natives towards violence against the settlers. In this riveting historical story, you will learn about the life of the early settlers of New Zealand, as well as, the events surrounding the New Zealand Wars.
Wilfred’s courage and tight morals lead the family in a straight and true line, aided by Mr. Atherton, a skilled naturalist with impeccable humor and strong nerves. As this pioneering family plants themselves in unknown territory, Henty follows the dramatic ups and downs of living and the human experience.
