Myths & Legends of the Polynesians is an account of the history, art and mythology of the Polynesian peoples. The Polynesians had many myths and legends, but through the ages they had been circulated by word of mouth, and not recorded. They were recalled from the vast storehouse of time and memory by the old priests who treasured the old traditions, and by the kahuna or sorcerers who constantly relived the legends and sang the old songs. Polynesians have always had a strong romantic appeal to the outside world, possibly because of their enchanting island surroundings, their simple life and natural graces. Their legends have been woven into rich tapestries in this classic text. Stories of Myths and Legends of the Polynesians include: Koropanga and Rukutia Kelea and Kalamakua Uenuku Fairies and Taniwha The Tawhaki Cycle Pele the Fire–Godess The Spirit Worlds Io, Tangaroa, and Creation Tane' and Rongo THe Areoi Society and and Hula Dance

Sir George Grey was among the first chroniclers to explore Hawaii and the South Sea Isles with an aim of writing down the local legends and myths - this collection contains the amazing results of his journey. It was not the author's original plan to record the myths and legends of the Polynesian people - a government posting in New Zealand, and his subsequent encounters with natives and their chieftains, spurred an interest in the region's rich storytelling history. Many chieftains would quote different proverbs and narratives in common, summarizing the deeds of heroes such as Maui and Tawhaki. Many of the myths and legends reflected the Polynesian society's maritime nature - prowess upon the seas, be it in intrepid sailing or hunting great beasts of the deep, is a recurring theme. The peoples of Polynesia were spread over thousands of miles of island chains in the Pacific Ocean, and were mindful of the great distances their boats had covered. The discovery of New Zealand itself was subject to a legendary story; it being an island far greater in size than any discovered before. Tales of rituals and magic connected with nature leads Sir Grey to speculate about some arcane link between Polynesia and ancient Mexico - at the time, the supernatural qualities found in this lore were considered barbarous, and ignoble in the face of the Christianity of Western explorers.
