N2  - "This work is an attempt to make known to the general public some of the romance associated with the settlement of Polynesia by a stone-age people who deserve to rank among the world's great navigators. The author uses tales from Polynesian myths regarding the creation of man and of the islands."--Review at Goodreads.com Dec. 2013
