Maori myths and legends have an important role in transmitting and
regenerating traditional knowledge. Yet as Ross Calman points out
in his introduction to this new edition, they are also simply great
yarns -- 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 yet complete, these gripping stories are enlivened
by the timeless illustrations of Roger Hart.
