Originally released in 1888, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii is a
stirring account of Hawaii’s most culturally significant stories
presented by King David Kalākaua. It highlights important moments
in the island’s history before and during its political
transitions. The Legends and Myths of Hawaii is often considered a
historical narrative as opposed to fables. It details critical
events throughout Hawaii’s history featuring some of its most
notable figures. The book contains chapters on “Hina, the Helen
of Hawaii,” “Hua, King of Hana,” “Kelea, the Surf-Rider of
Maui” and “Kahalaopuna, the Princess of Manoa.” It is a
brilliant introduction to the social, historical and religious
customs of its native peoples. King David Kalākaua’s book was
used to shine a positive light on ancient Hawaiian history. It
preserves the stories of the many men and women who ruled the
island for years without outside influence. It’s a compelling and
enduring collection of Hawaii’s most memorable tales. With an
eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this
edition of The Legends and Myths of Hawaii is both modern and
readable.
