A gripping narrative that sweeps the reader along as it seeks to uncover a mystery from the pages of New Zealand's troubled racial past.
While doing some preliminary research for a travel book, Peter Walker came across a photograph taken in the mid-nineteenth century that haunted him. A Maori boy, at age five or six, is dressed up as a proper English gentleman, one hand hidden in the pocket of his trousers, the other placed squarely on what looks like a bible. How did such a young member of the native population of New Zealand wind up in such a place, why did he look so unhappy, and what happened next?
With picture in hand and numerous questions in mind, Peter set off on his quest to solve the riddle of Ngatau Omahuru (or little 'William Fox'). It was soon revealed that this little boy, about whom perhaps ten lines had ever been published in history books, was kidnapped during a battle and later adopted by the Prime Minister himself to be trained as lawyer. As Walker uncovers more and more information-following the boy's footsteps out of the forest and into the high society drawing rooms of Wellington and London-it becomes clear that little William Fox played a crucial role in New Zealand's violent interracial history.
As Walker travels in pursuit of the facts he finds himself on a personal journey as well, revisiting the scenes of his own childhood and quite unexpectedly coming across information that connects him personally to the historical material he finds, making The Fox Boy both travel writing and narrative history at their finest.
