Polynesian Mythology
1974 (Reprint).
Whitcomb and Tombs Ltd
, Christchurch, New Zealand
Originally published in England in Maori in 1854 and then in English the following year, with a composite English and Maori edition done in 1885. Written originally by the Governor-in-chief of NZ this is by far the most important source-book for the basic Maori legends and for this edition the text of 1855 has been followed with normalization of the spelling of the Maori words and the addition of an index. Sixteen black and white drawings illustrate several of the myths.
