Maurice Shadbolt's Books

Based on fact, this tells of Kimball Bent, a Yankee who blundered into the British army in the mid-19th century, and was sent to fight in New Zealand. He deserted across battle lines to the Maori side in possibly the most ferocious colonial war ever fought.

A New Zealand Maori leads his people leads his people in a revolt against the colonial power.

This is the third book in Shadbolt's "Maori Trilogy", and is set in the 1840s when New Zealand was annexed by Queen Victoria. It combines historical detective work with humour and a host of eccentric characters. The two other books in the trilogy are "Season of the Jew" and "Monday's Warriors".

Award-winning New Zealand writers Martin Edmond, Maurice Gee, Kirsty Gunn and Owen Marshall explore life and memory in this bundle of BWB Texts. These four works are combined into one easy-to-read e-book, available direct and DRM-free from our website or from international e-book retailers. Martin Edmond’s Barefoot Years is a memoir in which the author attempts to re-inhabit the lost domain of childhood. Widely regarded as one of New Zealand’s greatest fiction writers, Maurice Gee has written virtually no non-fiction. The exceptions are the two exquisite childhood reminiscences combined in a mini-memoir, Creeks and Kitchens. In this exquisitely written ‘notebook’ – ‘My Katherine Mansfield Project’ – Kirsty Gunn explores the meaning of ‘home’ in Thorndon. Owen Marshall reflects at length on his writing career and the forces that have shaped him as a writer, in Tunes for Bears to Dance To. BWB Texts are short books on big subjects by great New Zealand writers. Commissioned as short digital-first works, BWB Texts unlock diverse stories, insights and analysis from the best of our past, present and future New Zealand writing.
