Maori myths and legends have an important role in transmitting and regenerating traditional knowledge. Yes as Ross Calman point out in his introduction, they are also simply great stories - reflective of a time when telling and listening to stories was a key leisure activity in Maori society. Favourite Maori Legends is an invitation to enjoy over 30 of the most memorable legends, grouped into themes of the spirit world, patupaiarehe (ghosts), taniwha, supernatural creatures, heroes and deeds of daring.
Concise and complete, these gripping stories are enlivened by the timeless illustrations of Roger Hart.
