The first edition of Te Rangatahi (Book 1) was written by Hoani Retimana Waititi (pictured above) and published in 1962. My reprint dates back to 1973, a time when I was still at high school.
What I like about the book is that each chapter starts off with a connected text in Maori that the rest of the chapter unravels. Yesterday I selected sentences from the fifth chapter (Te Wahanga Tuarima: Te Pamu a Hata) that I could only half understand, in the belief that by the time I got to the end of the chapter I would be confident concerning.
Hope that makes sense!
