Book Description
Chris Grosz captures in words and pictures the adventuring life of sailor, soldier, deserter, outlaw and Hau Hau slave, Kimball Bent. After signing up for the Queen's shilling, Bent was sent to New Zealand in the 1860s, on the eve of the tumultuous Taranaki land wars. An act of defiance saw Bent deserting the army, and his eventual adoption by Maori tribes. Kimball Bent: Malcontent illustrates Bent's life as a Pakeha Maori, his assimilation into tribal life, his observation of secret war rites, including cannibalism, and being on the side of the Hau Hau at the famous battle at Te Ngutu o Manu where Gustav von Tempsky was killed. One of New Zealand's folk heroes, Bent's story encompasses romance, bloodshed and mayhem. His story has been recorded by James Cowan and fictionalised by Maurice Shadbolt. Rendered in scraperboard style, this graphic novel will have crossover appeal for teenagers and adults alike, bringing Bent's story to a new generation of New Zealanders.

Book Description
This eloquent and detailed Taranki history has grown out of research for the Ngati Ruanui tribal treaty claim against the New Zealand Crown. From pre-Hawaiki times it follows the Aotea canoe from Ranigatea in the Pacific to New Zealand Aotearoa and the settlement of Turi and his people at Patea. The battles and alliances over the centuries and the rich and varied Ngati Ruanui history form the narrative background for the arrival of Pakeha from Europe and the devastation and land confiscations that followed. The story of the successful negotiation of the Ngati Ruanui treaty settlement and the creation of Te Rananga o Ngati Ruanui is told here for the first time. The central theme of this important book is the unwavering determination of the Ngati Ruanui tribe to hold on to their land and their autonomy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Adventures of Kimble Bent: A Story of Wild Life in the New Zealand Bush This book is not a work of fiction. It is a plain narrative of real life in the New Zealand bush, a true story of adventure in a day not yet remote, when adventure in abundance was still to be had in the land of the Maori. Every name used is a real one, every character who appears in these pages had existence in those war days of forty years ago. Every incident described here is a faithful record of actual happenings; some of them may convince the reader that truth can be stranger than fiction.
