Legends of Maui is a fascinating read for anyone interested in mythology, folklore, or the history and culture of the Pacific Islands.According to some legends, the skies pressed so closely and so heavily upon the earth that when the plants began to grow, all the leaves were necessarily flat. According to other legends, the plants had to push up the clouds a little, and thus caused the leaves to flatten out into larger surface, so that they could better drive the skies back and hold them in place. Thus the leaves became flat at first, and have so remained through all the days of mankind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
