The Greenstone Door (1987) By William Satchell
 
The hatred between the Maoris and the Pakeha settlers; the bloodthirsty raids on enemy villages; are all brought to life through the skillful pen of William Satchell.
 
Explores aspects of New Zealand history in the second half of the nineteenth century through the childhood recollections of a hero who is cared for by a Maori chief after his father is killed. Now recognised as a classic of the period, with its authentic historical portraits and its passionate plea for better understanding between the two races.
