A very special collection of exciting, magical tales of adventure and intrigue.

Peter Gossage's memorable retellings of Maori oral myths have captivated the children of New Zealand for generations. 

Maui and other Maori Legends contains eight timeless treasures, including How Maui Found His Mother, The of Maui, Battle of the Mountains and Pania of the Reef.

Many of the legends feature the hero Maui - also called the quick-witted and the trickster - whose exploits include slowing the sun in its course across the sky, fishing up the North Island/Te-Ika-a-Maui and discovering the secret of fire. 

The powerful combination of dramatic and distinctive illustrations with minimal yet evocative text has earned each tale its place among the beloved classics of our literature.
