The Handbook of Polynesian Mythology captures the little known richness and scope of a culture that spread from a single mysterious source to encompass the lands of New Zealand, Easter Island, Hawaii, Samoa, and Tonga. It introduces the people, history, and languages behind the mythology, including the oral traditions that kept it alive for centuries.
