By Gunder E. Olson
Published in 1974. This is the second printing.
Excerpt from the introduction: "The malihini (new-comer) will find interest in these pages to contrast with modern modes of travel and convenience in Hawaii. The kamaaina (old-timer) will find pleasant memories of the 'good old days' in Hawaii nei."
Book Two: "Hawaiian Legends of Volcanoes: Collected and translated from the Hawaiian"
By William D. Westervelt
Copyright in Japan, 1962, by Charles E. Tuttle Co., Inc. First printing, 1963. Eleventh printing, 1975
Excerpt from the jacket: "Mr. Westervelt's treatment of the legends themselves is interspersed with pertinent geological and historical information, and the result is a combination of fancy and fact that is rich in interest not only for the folklorist but also for the general reader who enjoys a well-told tale."
