The House That Jack Built

Author(s): Gavin Bishop

NZ Children & Young Adult

Uses the cumulative nursery rhyme, about the chain of events that started when Jack built a house, as a metaphor to illustrate the arrival and settlement of the European settlers in New Zealand during the early 19th century. Brilliant!
