Summary "Maori and Settler: A Story of The New Zealand War" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book primarily explores the family's journey and struggles during the New Zealand Wars, focusing on themes of displacement and survival in a colonial context. The protagonist of the story, Wilfrid Renshaw, is a young boy who takes on the responsibility of supporting his family after their fortunes collapse, ultimately leading them to leave England for New Zealand. At the start of the narrative, the Renshaw family faces sudden financial ruin due to a bank failure, leaving them with little choice but to emigrate to New Zealand. The opening chapters introduce Wilfrid as a strong-willed and practical young man who devises a plan for their emigration, believing it's the best road to independence and a fresh start. The family prepares to leave behind their familiar life, showcasing their dynamic and the differing perspectives they hold about their future. This compelling beginning sets up the adventures that Wilfrid and his family will face as they navigate their new environment amid the backdrop of conflict and cultural encounters in New Zealand.
