Written for children who spend Christmas in summer under the Southern Cross, this tale takes Cis and Hal on a magical journey through New Zealand with their guide Red Cap. They taste the boiling mud of a thermal pool, meet the country’s remarkable birds and plants and hear of Māori life, with notes by naturalists explaining the real wonders.

A charming Victorian fairy tale that doubles as a natural history of New Zealand. Download the free EPUB.
