About this eBook

Author Kingston, William Henry Giles, 1814-1880
Title Waihoura, the Maori Girl
Credits Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
Summary "Waihoura, the Maori Girl" by W.H.G. Kingston is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the experiences of Valentine Pemberton and his family as they settle in New Zealand and their interactions with the native Maori people, particularly focusing on a young Maori girl named Waihoura. As the Pembertons navigate their new life in the colony, themes of friendship, cultural exchange, and the challenges of adaptation are explored through their relationships with the Maori community. The opening of the novel introduces the arrival of the Pemberton family and others to New Zealand, detailing their excitement and the initial chaos as they disembark from the ship. Valentine Pemberton is excited to help his father and siblings adapt to the new land, and they quickly establish a friendship with farmer Greening and his family. As they camp in their new surroundings, they express gratitude and hope for their future in this unfamiliar territory. The narrative further sets the stage for Waihoura's subsequent introduction, hinting at the cultural connections between the Pembertons and the Maori, where Lucy Pemberton, in particular, shows compassion towards the ailing Maori girl, establishing the foundations for their bond.
