Dick Frizzell's images populate our world - you find them on T-shirts, on TV ads, in shop windows, on wine bottles, on cushions and T-towels and in art shows. People appropriate (or borrow) his images in much the same way that he too appropriated many of the images he has painted over the years. He's reached iconic status in NZ - we love him, he's one of our own. This book contains all of his major paintings, the story of his life in his own thoughtful and highly articulate words, and an essay by Hamish Keith on Dick's work and its place in the New Zealand art world.

Published by:
Random House New Zealand Ltd
A sequel or companion book to 'Taming the Sun', Gavin Bishop's latest stunning book contains four more Maori myths, including two well-known legends (Maui finds his family and Maui and the goddess of fire) and two less well-known legends (Hatupatu and the birdwoman and Rata and his waka).Aimed at children 3-10 years, these myths are simply and yet elegantly written. Gavin's characteristic sense of humour is evident in all of the stories, and while each story is exciting and often a little bit scary, they are resolved beautifully. Gavin allows the essence of the original myths to remain while also re-telling them for a new generation of children. The illustrations are stunning - the different colour palette for each story and the strong mix of techniques create bold and beautiful images that integrate with the words in a powerful and meaningful way.

He and his sister Emma are a very typical bickering pair of siblings, who suddenly find themselves hurled into another age of New Zealand. When hit by a car, David awakens, with Emma there too, in a humble and ramshackle cottage in 1840s. He soon figures out that he and his sister have been taken back in time to a whaling station of settlement-era NZ. David struggles to adapt to the harsh environment and eventually his memory of the past fades. As well as having to learn quickly about life and its differences from contemporary, urban NZ - as well as helping out at the station - David and Emma must combat subterfuge in the village, to save their new family's livelihood. And in a life or death situation he is challenged in a way he could never have imagined possible.
