Raupo Book of Maori Proverbs

Description

Proverbs (or whakatauki) express the wisdom, wit and common sense of the Maori people. Evocative and succinct, they are great value and inspiration to writers, story-tellers and anyone speaking in a Maori setting. Several hundred proverbs are here categorised under a large number of diverse headings, with translations and explanations in English. This book provides both a useful reference and an insight into Maori humour and values.
