Notes

Robert Sullivan retells the classic Maori legends in an accessible style and in a way that takes its inspiration from their original oral tradition. He writes from a pan-tribal viewpoint so that the myths can be enjoyed by all. Last year the author was on a fellowship at the University of Hawaii where he researched the myths going back to the first recorded accounts of them. Gavin Bishop illustrates them simply and clearly.

An exciting retelling of classic Maori legends.
