{"product_id":"holiday-seasons-alison-clarke-9781869403829","title":"Holiday Seasons: Christmas, New Year and Easter in Nineteenth-Century New Zealand","description":"Taking readers back in time and across the seas, this peek inside the lives of New Zealand settlers offers delightful descriptions of traditional British festivals and documents their development after being transplanted into the young colony. Though the seasons were reversed, the vegetation unfamiliar, and the land isolated, the early colonial New Zealanders were devoted to their traditions and kept them up in the face of not only their physical environment but also the wide variety of religious cultures represented by both the colonists and the native islanders. The celebrations became unique to the islands that nurtured them, mixing traditions of Presbyterians and Catholics with Baptists, Anglicans, and the Maori.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Clarke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1869403827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781869403829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Auckland University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.93h x 8.41w x 0.48d","brand":"Alison Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519565050111,"sku":"9781869403829","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_914029b7-ce89-4f4f-b3ff-619cee885601.jpg?v=1778737750","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/holiday-seasons-alison-clarke-9781869403829","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
