Ku and Hina-man and woman-were the great ancestral gods of heaven and earth for the ancient Hawaiians. They were life's fruitfulness and all the generations of mankind, both those who are to come and those already born.

Summary: Informative and Insightful
Comment: 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.

Summary: Hawaiian Mythology
Comment: 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.
