Caren Loebel-Fried's Hawaiian Legends of Dreams, February 13, 2007
This review is from: Hawaiian Legends of Dreams (Hardcover)
"Caren Loebel-Fried's Hawaiian Legends of Dreams is intimate in size. Her 60 ilustrations, in striking blockprinting, often with color washes, complement but never overpower the stories. This handsome volume, printed on glossy heavyweight paper, explores the significance of dreams in Hawaiian culture.
"Nine poignant tales are woven together with interesting bits of history. A great deal of effort has gone to ensuring the work is accurate. Footnotes point to discrepancies among sources when these occur. Historical notes occasionally follow a story, effectively tying the past to the present.
"Hawaiian Legends of Dreams evokes a feeling of reverence for the legends, the culture and history, and the attention to detail."
-The Honolulu Advertiser, January 2006, Jolie Jean Cotton
