Books with author Janet McLean

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Plays Maori and Pakeha, Vol. 2Scene: A New Zealand forest - trees, ferns, undergrowth, etc. In the foreground crouches a slave keeping careful look-out. He peers through the trees to the right; then moves to rear and to left, listening, watching. He turns quickly as a rustling sound from right preludes the entry of a tall chief, wear ing dog-skin mat, head-band and huia feather, sandals, etc., and bearing in his hand a greenstone mere. His face is intricately tattooed. He stands for a moment gazing back in direction from which he has come, then turns sharply to slave.Chief: What have you seen? Slave: Nothing, 0 Te Rangi. No one stirs.TE rangi: Continue your watch. Have eyes for the sleeping house, no less than the forest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
