Summary: "Old New Zealand: Being Incidents of Native Customs and Character in the Old Times" by A Pakeha Maori is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book provides a candid exploration of Maori life and customs during a time of significant change due to contact with British settlers. It offers firsthand observations and anecdotes, emphasizing the contrast between the past and the present of Maori culture. The opening of the narrative sets a reflective tone, as the narrator reminisces about the "good old times" in New Zealand before the arrival of British governance and the influence of civilization. Through a mix of humor and melancholy, he shares vivid impressions of his initial interactions with the Maori, illustrating their customs and initial perceptions of trade and hospitality. Anecdotes about his experiences, including humorous anecdotes about cultural misunderstandings and depictions of Maori life, establish the groundwork for a rich exploration of the past customs and characters that shaped New Zealand's history.
