“The second edition is virtually a new book.... No one is so well qualified to describe New Zealand plant ecology as Dr. Cockayne.”--_Nature_, London.
“The story which Dr. Cockayne has to tell is wonderful, and the manner of his telling is full of charm. He gives no bare catalogue of plants nor bald descriptions, but shows by pen and picture the wonderful vegetation of those happy islands.”--_Gardeners’ Chronicle_, London.
“The book will be treasured by all who find refreshment away from the cities and the petty affairs of men.... Dr. Cockayne’s style is as brilliant as it is simple. He cannot be misunderstood. “New Zealand Plants and their Story” is a book to give to one’s dearest friend, while keeping a copy for one’s own reading and pleasure.”--_Evening Post_, Wellington, N.Z.
