Synopsis:

Myths, legends, romances and folktales of the most fascinating goddess of old Hawaii. Pele lives in Hawaiian hearts and minds as the personification of volcanic majesty and power. Having the power to create new land, she has a volcanic personality - an impetuous, lusty nature, jealous, unpredictable, capable of sudden fury and great violence. Yet she can also be gentle, loving and as serene as her forests of verns and flowering trees.

Reviewer: Jeannemarie from New York
Pele Goddess of Hawaii's Volcanoes is a wonderful book full of the myths and legends of a powerful Goddess who rules over the Hawaiian islands. With strinking pictures that explain all of the gods and put faces to the names. It disproves false myths such as human sacrafice and brings it all alive. Reading this book is a must before visiting the vocanoes in Hawaii, it makes it all mean so much. I definately recommend this book!
