From items such as Swanndri, the Kiakia Swamp, Depression furniture and kahu kurā to stories about people such as Tau Ihu Kingi, the Highwayman, AW Reid and a forger of artefacts, the text is lively and entertaining.

The book is richly illustrated with photographs of the objects themselves as well as images and accompanying brief text that give new angles on the treasures and tell little-known stories about the objects and region.
