Extensive List of stories that really enhanced my trip to Hawaii. Especially fun to have gone to the bishops museum and see some of the artifacts that are purportedly talked about in these stories. Thank goodness the author had the forethought to get these stories recorded before they were lost

✋🏼Don't let this one get by you

A stunning piece of literary work that should not go unheard. Great interpretation of this historically driven narrative
