Book Description

Publication Date: September 1986 | Series: Kolowalu Books

In this definitive book written in a manner beautifully analogous to her subject, the author intertwines multiple strands of narrative, from the social and cultural history in which the use of shells for adornment and currency is embedded, through popular lore of pre and post war Hawaiian history, to the technical aspects of making a shell lei, and its subsequent care and handling.
