| When
the storytellers of ancient Hawaii gathered by the light of
candlenut torches, they told tales that explained the world
around them. From this rich body of mythology, author Vivian
Thompson has drawn twelve myths. She retells them with the
true flavor and simplicity of the storytellers of long ago.
Thompson's words are accompanied by the illustrations of Hawai'i
artist Marilyn Kahalewai, who has captured the delight and
drama of the ancient tales.
