What is Traditional Maori Stories He Korero Maor about?
In strange and marvellous tales of the supernatural, heroes battle with giant lizards, enormous birds and taniwha. Sometimes they are menaced by fairies ucirc; beautiful creatures with uncanny powers, who fall in love with human women. The heroes triumph over evil adversaries, and they undertake dangerous journeys to the underworlds and the distant island of Hawiki. The great Maori storytellers of the nineteenth century wrote these stories as they were accustomed to telling them. This illustrated anthology presents their writing in the original Maori and in accomplished, lively translations that make these taonga accessible to a wider audience.
