"Beautifully illustrated version of a classic"

Review by mirabel on 24th August, 2020

Purchased on Mighty Ape

Highly recommend!

"Great Children's book with Maori culture focus."

Review by Peter on 20th February, 2012

Purchased on Mighty Ape

A masterly version of a familiar nursery rhyme with a gentle understanding of the forces operating on each side of the Treaty. A delightful marriage of European story and Maori myth and legend. Superbly illustrated with Gavin Bishop's outstanding skill, imagination and flair.

Description

The House that Jack Built is a book with two strands. The main rhythmic text, based on the well-known rhyme, tells the story of Jack Bull, who travels to New Zealand from London as a new settler in 1798. The illustrations tell the story from a Māori perspective—beginning with the creation story of Papatūānuku and Ranginui and showing the changing environment and cultural impact. The juxtaposition tells a poignant and thought-provoking story of colonisation.
