Margaret Penrose was the pen name of the American author and journalist, who wrote extensively for young readers during a period that saw a rise in youth-centric literature.

This intimate understanding of her subjects adds depth to her characters, making them resonate with the reader and reflecting the evolving roles of women in society. "Dorothy Dale's Engagement" is highly recommended for readers who appreciate classic coming-of-age tales infused with moral lessons and the complexities of love.

    This is the Māori language edition of Tāwhaki: The Deeds of a Demigod. The book recalls the miraculous life of Tāwhaki. Similar to Māui, Tāwhaki was a demigod who possessed mighty powers. Tāwhaki almost died at the hands of his brothers-in-law but was found by his wife Hine-piripiri and revived. This near-death experience revealed Tāwhaki's status as a demigod, and from this point Tāwhaki continued to use his powers and gifts to help those around him in ways no human could. This book explores many of these stories, including those of Tāwhaki restoring sight to his blind grandmother and climbing the heavens to find his wife and child.
