Storyteller Lopaka Kapanui, an apprentice of the late Glen Grant, continues his legacy with this collection of talesboth ancient and modernwhich capture a part of Hawaiian life rarely advertised or seen. All of these tales are part of Hawaiis folklore, and all of them were told to the author over many years by everyday people. They are unembellished, and all the more powerful because of that. They teach us that there is much in life that cannot be explained, and that in a modern world that prizes the rational there are others above and below its surface. A born storyteller, Kapanui gives the reader a rich voyage through other times and places, keeping in sight all the while the human comedy and its corresponding tragedy, along with the unseen humor and terror that surround every one of us.
