Hardcover. Condition: VG+. Dust Jacket Condition: G+. Photos, Art, Maps (illustrator). 1st. Tasman Bay, at the north west of South Island is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled areas in NZ. While concentrating on the Tasman Bay area the book also examines the coast extending north from the Motueka River, just north of Nelson. This area is known as the Enchanted Coast, which author was familiar with, having previously written a number of travel handbooks on the "Coast" and also the neaby Tasman National Parkl and rhe Nelson Lakes. Tasman Bay recalls the Dutch navigator who discovered NZ (1642), but James Cook (1770) and and the French navigator/explorer Dumont d'Urville (1827) were also. early visitors to the area, the latter leaving his mark with a number of French place names. The author has noted these activities, then the early settlers and their initial contacts with the native Maori people, sealing and whaling, before moving on to the varied activities of the new settlers who inhabited an area that was largely isolated and remote until comparatively recent times. These aspects of life on the "Coast" are traversed, as are personalities from different eras with recollections and anecdotes. A well told story.

During the early years of the last century professional White Hunters were at their most successful. Safaris of 200 porters and more conveyed wealthy and aristocratic sportsmen in pursuit of game. The men who led these lengthy expeditions were a varied and multi-talented group. They had to be able to manage a large and diverse staff, have intimate knowledge of game and where to locate it and be able to entertain men and women from the highest levels of society. The biographies and tales gathered from personal interviews with the 18 White Hunters selected by Emily Host and their contemporaries give a unique glimpse of the Safari in its heyday.
