About this book

Hawaiian Legends of Volcanoes by Westervelt, W. D.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780804802406.

Still popular nearly a century after its original publication, W.D. Westervelts Hawaiian Legends of Volcanoes, is well written and well-paced. Especially enjoyable are the tales the exploits of Pele and her sister Hiiaka with mortals such as the handsome chiefs Kahawali and Lohiau, and the explosive love affair with the pig-god Kamapuaa. The powerful conflicts between Pele and Poliahu, the snow goddess, and Hiiaka and the many moo, or supernatural water creatures, are recounted with the rhythm and suspense befitting the best drama.
