N1  - "This is the first volume of Witi Ihimaera's enthralling memoir, packed with stories of the formative years of this much-loved writer."--Publisher information
N2  - The first volume of Witi Ihimaera's enthralling memoir, packed with the stories surrounding the formative years of this much-loved writer. Witi Ihimaera is a consummate story-teller, having created many fictional tales in his numerous books. Some of his most fascinating stories, however, are about his own life. This work tells of the family and community into which he was born, of his early life as a Maori boy in rural New Zealand. It is engrossing, it is funny, it is moving, it is vividly told, but more than this, it is a vital record of what it means to grow up Maori
