The Maori have a rich and colourful tradition of myth and legend - many of their most important and popular tales are retold in this classic, best-selling book.

Written with the general reader in mind, the stories range from the creation of the world to the coming of life, death and knowledge. They incorporate the great god Tane, Maui who tamed the sun, the woman on the moon, monsters, fairies, wondrous birds and moving mountains.
