This month (Dec.), in 1642, Dutch explorer Abel Tasman sighted New Zealand from his flagship the Heemskerck – a momentous event that features in my historical adventure ‘New Zealand: A Novel’.
Tasman would soon learn that the land he’d discovered was occupied by warlike peoples who called themselves Maoris. However, he would go to his deathbed mistakenly believing the new land was the Great Southern Continent. — Dec 12, 2025 03:06PM
