Percival & Annie Crene were well known in the far north as Native School teachers at Ahipara. Conventional as this English-born couple appeared to those who knew them in New Zealand, their previous lives were much less so.

More than a decade of research has revealed an intriguing tale that deserves a place in the far north’s colourful history.
