Legends of Maui (1910) is a collection of Hawaiian folktales and
myths anthologized by W. D. Westervelt. Paying homage to the
importance of Maui across Polynesian cultures, Westervelt
introduces his groundbreaking collection of legends on Hawaii's
founding deity. Westervelt's collection connects the origin story
of Hawaii to the traditions of other Polynesian cultures, providing
an invaluable resource for understanding the historical and
geographical scope of Hawaiian culture. Drawing on the work of
David Malo, Samuel Kamakau, and Abraham Fornander, Westervelt,
originally from Ohio, became a leading authority on the Hawaiian
Islands, publishing extensively on their legends, religious
beliefs, and folk tales. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally designed manuscript, this edition of W. D.
Westervelt's Legends of Maui is a classic of Hawaiian literature
reimagined for modern readers.
