This timeless story tells how the courage of one Maori girl in standing against the tide of tradition enables her people to become reconnected with their ancestral life force.

Since publication in 1987, 'The Whale Rider' has become one of Witi Ihimaera's best-loved stories, capturing readers with its universal themes of conflict between generations, respect for nature, family love and personal courage.

The film adaptation, 'Whale Rider', brought the story to an international audience.

J.R.R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings (single volume edition) J.R.R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings (single volume edition)


All three parts of Tolkien's trilogy in one volume, containing the definitive edition of the text, an expanded index and specially commissioned maps.

Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him the Rings of Power - the means by which he will be able to rule the world. All he lacks in his plan for dominion is the Ruling Ring, which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins.

In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as the Ring is entrusted to his care. He must leave his home and make a perilous journey across the realms of Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, deep inside the territories of the Dark Lord. There he must destroy the Ring forever and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
