An anthology of Hawaiian folklore, including pieces by Thomas Thrum and other writers. The compiler presents in book form the series of legends enriched by the addition of several tales.
This also includes many articles which were originally published in difficult to obtain journals and now-rare books. All of them were written in the late XIX-th or early XX-th century and are mostly based on first-hand oral traditions. Chapters cover topics such as resemblances to the biblical stories, myths of the gods and goddesses such as Maui and Pele, historical legends, topographical folklore, and the folklore of fishing.
