Some of the tall tales included in this volume are of shape-shifters like Shark Man of Ewa. Others are of kupua with extraordinary powers like Kana. And there are men with rare and special weapons, such as Ka-ui-lani.

Autorenporträt
Vivian L. Thompson, a long-time resident of Hawaii, heard her first Hawaiian legend from a guide on a mule-back trip during a visit to the Big Island of Hawaii. This sparked her interest and soon after she began collecting and retelling Hawaii's many tales and legends, hoping to preserve a rapidly disappearing heritage of folklore. Her many years of research in the subject have led to the publication of five books of Hawaiian myths, legends, and tales beautifully retold for today's readers; picture storybooks for young children; and plays for children's theater.
