Description

New Zealand has a rich store of song, folklore, poetry, stories and yarns that cry out to be told or sung. Here's a swag of songs about pioneers, goldminers, drifters, rogues and scoundrels, shearers, gumdiggers and moonshiners, and a colourful collection of toasts, ditties and tall stories.
