 Informative and Insightful Nov 27, 2002
This is a great book for delving into the myths, gods, legend and lore of Hawaii's people. For anyone interested in the deeper levels and meanings behind Hawaii's traditions and beliefs. As a student of the culture I return again and again to this book. It can be a bit dry at times, and is suited more for the student than casual reader, but is a great addition to any library.

Hawaiian Mythology Jul 10, 2000
This is a very thorough and interesting book about the ancient Hawaiian myths. Martha Beckwith's book Hawaiian Mythology leaves no stone unturned when it comes to an extremely comprehensive look at the myths that have been passed down by the Hawaiians for hundreds of years. It tells adventurous tales of deities and those who were in their favor, romantic accounts of Gods and mortals, and incredible feets of the strong,the stuff of legend. It is truly an incredible account of history and myth.

From Hawaii Feb 07, 2011
By BeatleBangs1964
This excellent book provides readers with interesting information about Hawaiian myths and legends. What makes this book unique is that Beckwith digs and delves deeply into Hawaiian history and the fabric of Hawaiian lifestyles. These legends are deeply entrenched in Hawaii's history as they have been passed down for many generations. Readers will come away all the more appreciate of Hawaiian culture and will gladly accept this Hawaiian handshake. A masterpiece!

Hawaiian Myths Feb 24, 2010
By David T. Melnick
"BoGator68"
Thanx for the book. I find it so intriguing that all world history (namely, religious) is 1 & the same. Of course, every country having thier own spins. It's just a question to what degree.
Great book! Mar 21, 2011
By skmiller1
Great book, very detailed and informative. The only shortcoming is I wish it had more pictures. Other than that, a great buy!
