A wonderful mix of myth and fact.

[Jbondandrews · Rating 3 out of 5]

I hadn't really known anything about the myths of the Oceanic peoples and this was a book that was useful as a place to start.

[Russell Hall · Rating 4 out of 5]

Having little knowledge of Australian and Oceanian Myths and Stories, this book was a great glimpse into their stories and beliefs.
