Wanganui City, originally named Petre, is one of New Zealands earliest settled towns. The historic buildings found in the city and along the banks of the Wanganui River reflect the early setllement of  the area, the wealth and tastes of any of the European settlers, the uses to which the land was put and the relationship between Maori and Pakeha.

Des Bovey and Kathleen MacDonald  have combined their artistic skills and literary abilities to provide a memorable record of these buildings.
