Maori Myths & Legends for Christchurch Earthquake Appeal

Kiwi expat Republishes Maori Myths & Legends for Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Fundraiser

Abela Publishing, a UK based social enterprise publisher, run by expat Kiwi John Halsted, announces the republication of Sir George Grey's 1854 publication "Polynesian Mythology and Ancient Traditional History of the New Zealanders" as a fundraiser for the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal. Despite its elaborate title, the book contains 23 Maori myths and legends collected by Sir George Grey in the mid-to-late 1800s as an aide to understanding the Maori culture, customs and language.

£3.00 (approx. NZ$6.45) from every copy sold via the Abela website will be donated to the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal via the Red Cross. US$3.50 will be donated for Canadian and USA orders and 3.25 will be donated for orders taken in Euros.
