Summary:

This is the first single-volume collection of Aotearoa's major writing, from early exploration and encounter to a globalised, multicultural present. In fiction and non-fiction, letters and speeches, stories and songs, the editors unearth the diverse voices of the New Zealand imagination. And for years to come this anthology will be our guide to what's worth reading--and why.
