First published in 1907, this collection brings together a series of legends originally printed in The Hawaiian Annual that included other noted folklorists of the time such as Emerson, Forbes, Gibson, Hyde, Nakuina, and Poepoe. These tales perpetuate the beauty and mystery of Hawaiian sacred tradition serving as an excellent first introduction to the myths, legends, and folk tales that once bound people and the spirit realm in a cosmic unity of purpose.
