Description

Wills was a teacher at the Māori Anglican boarding school, Te Aute College in Hawkes Bay.

He ends "To the young Māori boys and girls, who have my heart and confidence, I would like to say this: I have written this book for you, to enable you to preserve the treasure of your forefathers, and hope by doing so, you will feel it a joyb, as well as a matter of pride to be a Māori."
