"A First Year in Canterbury Settlement", the earliest book by Butler, is a beautifully narrated tale of a colonial settler. Through journal of the author as a young emigrant, we get a first-hand account of his sea voyage to New Zealand. The vibrant descriptions of flora and fauna of the new land show his keen interest in everything, from exploration of the terrain to sheep-farming. Informative!
