Seller's Description:
Very Good. Trade paperback (US). 216 p. Contains: Illustrations. This is a genuine social history of New Zealand, where the author glances at the houses people lived in, the food they ate, the booze they drank, the theatres they went to, the clothes they wore, the schools they went to, the religions they believed in. Accessible and simple-this is McLauchlan's 'personal' take on our history.
