Description

In 1869, after an English defeat in New Zealand, a five-year-old Maori boy was captured. This little boy was to be adopted by the Prime Minister and educated to become a lawyer and an "English gentleman". This is the story of little "William Fox" and his crucial role in New Zealand's history.
