Enchanting tales of ancient and mystical New Zeland maoris.,
By kdoyledoo@aol.com (Our nations capitol) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Land of the Long White Cloud: Maori Myths, Tales and Legends (Paperback)
This is a collection of tales and myths remembered from her childhood. The maori legends are richly told and beautifully, and sometimes frightenly, illustrated. Te Kanawa remains faithfull to the vivid storytelling ancestry she represents. Many of the heroes and villains are as real as the shadow in the night...the shadow that refuses to go away. While nominally directed at children, adults can certainly enjoy the tales while appreciating the illustrative efforts of her co-author. The marriage of story and picture have rarely been put to better use to maintain for posterity a fragile heritage.
