Kamehameha Schools considers the legends of old Hawai’i part of the heritage of these islands. For this reason and because they are good stories, enjoyable to us and to our visitors, we have published these books of legends. The first, Pikoi, contains legends of the island of Hawai’i. This book, the second, and Tales of the Menehune, the third, contain legends of the various islands. We feel sure that through reading these stories children and adults will grow a bit in understanding and appreciation of the civilization here before European explorers reached our shores.
