Puke Ariki launches Taranaki Stories
A quirky and distinctly Taranaki book with a difference was launched at the Inglewood Public Library last Wednesday.
Taranaki Stories, published with funding from the Taranaki Electricity Trust (TET), is not just another history book. It’s a book about people – human tales of guts and glory, death and danger, peace and power.
The Puke Ariki produced book, co-authored by Sorrel Hoskin and Rhonda Bartle, contains 20 stories that bring some undiscovered spirits of Taranaki alive to tell little-known tales of the region.
Among the diverse stories are tales of rugby players, a man with a pyramid in his back yard, a bridegroom who was a woman and the truth about the Swanndri. Taranaki Stories is on sale for $35.00 at Vivid Retail Store at Puke Ariki, and selected Paper Plus outlets.
