Good Condition - Light rubbing and minor edge wear to covers. Signed by the author on the title page, which also carries a MoneyShop sponsor panel.

New Zealand has two national anthems, and each has a story worth telling. Max Cryer traces how God Defend New Zealand grew from Thomas Bracken's poem and John Joseph Woods' music into a song the whole country knows, and looks at the place of God Save the Queen alongside it. A readable history for anyone curious about New Zealand music, heritage and the words we sing together. This copy is signed by the author.
