Illustrated Maori Myths and Legends
Author(s): Queenie Rikihana-Hyland
Queenie Rikihana-Hyland brings together a collection of her favourite Maori Myths and Legends, from the creation and the ever-popular mischief-making of Maui, to the great love stories of Hinemoa and Tutanekai, and Turongo and Mahinarangi. In the true tradition of paki waitara (story-telling) Queenie has drawn on many sources from which to weave these tales. Previously published in 1997 as Paki Waitara, these stories have now been brought to life with the illustrations of Patrick Puru, whose work infuses the stories further with life, movement and vibrant colour.
