BOOK REVIEW If you have read a book you would like to share, do write a review under your name (or a constant "review Name" - see 'Ethics') "The Fox Boy", by Peter Walker, Bloomsbury Pub, London 2001. Reviewed by Peter E If you are one of those who question the Treaty of Waitangi and what the fuss now is all about, you will find “The Fox Boy” by Peter Walker, Bloomsbury Pub, London, 2001 a shocking eye opener. This riveting book is by an absentee Kiwi who returned to NZ to research the background to an old photo. He discovered behaviours we should be ashamed of, actions approved by then governments that are disgusting. Peter Walker shows that real life NZ history is waiting to be unravelled. He has begun. “Clean and green” is not our historic background reality either. This book is well written even though the author is not up-to-date with current NZ city life and does leave readers seeing NZ as still in the 80s; a fault of some expatriates.
