Description - Purakau: Legendary Maori Tales by AW Reed

First published in 1946 as Myths and Legends of Maoriland, these stories help explain the traditional Maori perspective on the origins of many things - not just people - in the world around us. They help to explain the natural world and the relationships between the different elements within that world. Successful both in New Zealand and internationally, the stories traverse the creation story, the discovery of Aotearoa, people, animals and plants, and the relationships between them.
