THE GIANT OF LAKE WAKATIPU - Peter Gossage


This dramatic story retells the legend of how Lake Wakatipu, the heart of the Queenstown region, was formed.

When Manata goes missing from her village, her people discover that she has been kidnapped by a giant. Her lover, Matakauri, sets off to rescue her, knowing that his people will never be safe until the giant is killed. While the giant sleeps, Matakauri builds a fire around him. But what will happen when the fire is lit?
