Synopsis

Unlike the usual collection of Polynesian tales, Under the Hala Tree: Twice Told Polynesian Myths and Legends sparkles with the Pacific Islander's sense of humor and ability to laugh at himself. Yet the tales teach deep appreciation for the human body and the human condition. Author Lowell Uda comes by his love of these tales from his mother, who was raised by a Hawaiian family and taught him Hawaiian ways.
