“How Maui Found His Mother” by Peter Gossage.
Courageous rendition of a fascinating legend. Maui-tiki-a-Taranga's journey to find his mother.
“The wave children of Tangaroa and Hine-moana bore him on their backs.
The clouds shielded him from the fierce sun, and Tawhiri the wind cooled him.
The swelling tide swept him swiftly along the coast.”
