"We will never know first hand what those extinct birds looked or
sounded like but here they are within the pages of this beautiful
boxed set.' New Zealand Herald, December 2012
'Our national birds fly off every page as exquisite and bright and
alive as the artist intended. Each painting and original
19th-century caption by Buller gets plenty of visual oxygen in the
form of its own double-page spread. Excellent modern add-ons
include each birds name in Maori, and a foreword by Stephen Fry
(who calls the kakapo an ""utterly endearing, fat nocturnal
parrot"").' North & South, December 2012
