Mapping our land down under, May 4, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Young Nick's Head (Paperback)
Karen Hesse has given our young people an insight into life aboard Endeavour during it's discoveries in the South Pacific. As a New Zealander i found the content of high interest, Hesse had me reaching for the atlas to see which of Cook's names had stood the test of time. The inclusion of comprehensive appendices added to the historical nature of this book with detailed records of Endeavours travels and crew.
There were occasions where the book lost it's momentum.
Great use of language which really helped set the scene.
I enjoyed reading something of historical value to New Zealand, there is a lack of such material available.
