'Moon deftly guides his readers through the many layers of stories and narratives that have accreted around the place we call Aotearoa/New Zealand . . . he gently reveals some of this myth-making to be harmless nationalism, [but also notes] the sometimes delusional nature of these invented histories.'

'Encounters is Paul Moon's most ambitious and best book to date. It is elegant, witty, erudite, illuminating and sometimes provocative. It has been beautifully produced by Penguin with colour reproductions sprinkled throughout the book that augment and enrich the lively text.'
