Hawaiian Legends Of Volcanoes
by W. D. Westervelt

Read about the powerful Hawaiian Fire Goddess Pele, who lives in a volcano and surfs on lava. A old Hawaiian saying: "never mistreat an old woman, she might be Pele in disguise". Polynesian.

Still popular nearly a century after its original publication, W.D. Westervelt's Hawaiian Legends of Volcanoes, is well written and well-paced. Especially enjoyable are the tales the exploits of Pele and her sister Hiiaka with mortals such as the handsome chiefs Kahawali and Lohiau, and the explosive love affair with the pig-god Kamapuaa. The powerful conflicts between Pele and Poliahu, the snow goddess, and Hiiaka and the many moo, or supernatural water creatures, are recounted with the rhythm and suspense befitting the best drama.
