A lively, stimulating and engaging retelling of purakau Maori Myths by contemporary Maori writers. Ka mua, ka mrui Ancient Maori creation myths, portrayals of largerthanlife heroes and tales of engrossing magical beings have endured through the ages. Some hail back to Hawaiki, some are firmly grounded in New Zealand and its landscape. Through countless generations, the stories haven been reshaped and passed on. This new collection presents a wide range of traditional myths that have been retold by some of our best Maori wordsmiths. The writers have added their own creativity, perspectives and sometimes wonderfully unexpected twists, bringing new life and energy to these rich, spellbinding and significant taonga. Take a fresh look at Papatuanuku, a wild ride with Maui, or have a creepy encounter with RuruhiKerepo, for these and many more mythical figures await you. Explore the past, from it shape the future ...
