Synopsis

This is a story of a taniwha that lives beside a track between villages and menaces travellers and the surrounding iwi. When a chief's son is taken by the taniwha, Te Hiakai, the people devise many plans to trap and kill the taniwha, but each time Te Hiakai outwits them. In the end, Pōhutukawa, a chief's daughter, speaks to the taniwha. Through her words a spell is broken, and the taniwha transforms into a young warrior, Te Haeata, who had been cursed by a tohunga long ago. Pōhutukawa and Te Haeata fall in love and live out their lives together. But Te Haeata never quite shakes off the spell, and in old age, he transforms into an eel and becomes a guardian in the Rangitāiki river.

    Follow Alice as she tumbles into a world where hats are mad, cats vanish mid-sentence, and queens take croquet far too seriously. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland isn't just a book—it's a portal into delightful absurdity, linguistic acrobatics, and the kind of dream logic only Lewis Carroll could conjure. With wit sharper than the Queen's axe and characters as bizarre as your strangest dreams, this is the ultimate escape for the logically exhausted and the wonderfully curious. Step through the looking... no, wait—that's another story. Just follow the White Rabbit.
