Taniwharau is a collection of stories about the mythical creatures and special guardians of Mâori legend. Taniwha were seen as a good omen by local people, yet any stranger to the area saw them as dangerous creatures that would kill to protect their territory. Each story is accompanied by Warren PohatuÃÂs dazzling imagery of the taniwha.
