The Long Walk


I am delighted to share “The Long Walk” by He Ara Pukerua (the Pukerua Bay Heritage Group), a new nonfiction book that I illustrated. The book tells the story of the four Bevan children who, led by their guide Ropina, walked from Wellington to Waikawa Beach in 1845.

In 2023, I followed in their footsteps and walked from Wellington to Waikawa Beach. I also wrote an afterword to this book.

“One of the most popular legends was the tale of Lady Alexandra Greenwood, who was said to appear whenever something grave was about to happen. Her apparition was supposedly last witnessed weeping in the darkness of the cellar on the night before the death of Mrs Humphrey Devereux.”
Isaac du Toit, The Greenwood Ghosts

“So next time you go to a museum, keep your eyes open; you never know what you will see.”
Isaac du Toit, The Living Museum

“Child detective Noah Edward was standing in front of his new home. It was an old-fashioned building made of brick. It had a tall, spiky wrought iron fence. There was a billboard attached to the side of the fence. It read “Richard Seddon’s Home for Vulnerable Children.”
Isaac du Toit, Noah Edward and the Awful Orphanage
