Abstract
This work, by Martha Warren Beckwith (1871-1959), a noted folklorist and ethnologist of her day, presents a definitive account of the myths, legends, traditions, folktales, and romances of the Hawaiian people. The book is divided into several parts dealing with stories of gods and ghosts, of ancestors as they appear in the genealogies of chiefs, and of fiction in the form of legends and romances…(p. 1).
