Tamihana the King-Maker by L. S. Rickard A. H. & A. W. Reed, 25s reviewed by Pei Te Hurinui Jones ‘Tamihana the King-maker’ is a valuable contribution to New Zealand literature, and all the fine things that have been said about the author, L. S. Rickard, are well deserved. Mr Rickard has been painstaking in the gathering of the material for his book, and in his writing he has made an excellent and scholarly job of it. The Maori King Movement and the part Wiremu Tamihana played in it is well treated, and the author's statement that ‘The King certainly served as a rallying point for the disaffected, but his existence did not cause the wars,’(page 77) will be received by the Maori people with approval.
