This
18-story collection is rich in legend and early Kaua'i history.
Frederick B. Wichman has gathered these stories from many sources:
some written down and some told to the author by Jacob Maka
of Ha'ena in the oldest tradition of storytellying -- word of
mouth. Many of the stories help explain local phenomena, such
as the reason for Waimea river sometimes flowing red, or why
the Mana beaches are dangerous for swimmers. The collection
features pen and ink illustrations by Christine Faye and includes
a Hawaiian glossary. Soft cover book
