Did you ever wonder why mosquitoes suck blood? Are you curious about where and why the Maori first learned the art of tattoo? Or how various islanders remember the story of the creation of the world? Legends recount tales of magic and the supernatural as well as addressing themes like family, love, respect, nature, courage, rites of passage, history and tradition -- some in this case involving cannibalism. Now the legends that have embodied the culture and values of Island people for centuries are available in one beautifully illustrated, easy-to-read volume: Pacific Island Legends: Tales from Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia and Australia by educators Bo Flood, Beret E. Strong and William Flood, with culturally accurate woodcut illustrations by Connie J. Adams. Everyone interested in the Pacific Islands will appreciate the beauty and depth of this volume - residents, visitors, scholars, military and armchair travellers alike. The forty-four legends from all over the Pacific are a window into an often overlooked part of the world. Perfect for teachers, the book is also a literary companion to two popular Bess Press textbooks, Pacific Nations and Territories and Pacific Neighbors. The teacher's manual includes valuable background on each of the islands, educational activities, a thematic index, and resources for further information. contemporary,folklore and mythology,history,humanities,literature,literature and fiction,nature and ecology,politics and social sciences,science and math,social sciences Humanities, Bess Pr Inc<
