The King Country or Explorations in New Zealand is a travel narrative written by James Henry Kerry-Nicholls in 1884. The book is a vivid account of the author's journey through Maoriland, covering a distance of 600 miles. The King Country, a region in the North Island of New Zealand, was at the time largely unexplored, and Kerry-Nicholls' narrative provides a unique insight into the Maori culture, customs, and way of life. The book is divided into chapters, each describing a different stage of the author's journey. Kerry-Nicholls writes about the stunning landscapes, flora and fauna, and the natural wonders he encounters along the way. He also describes his interactions with the Maori people, their hospitality, and their traditions. The book is a fascinating account of a journey through a little-known part of New Zealand, and it is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the country's history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
