These short stories--set in the paradise-like Hawaiian Islands-- read not so much like Disney sweetness and light animation, but more like real old folk tales.
Some titles are
The One-eyed Akua
Maui Fishes up and Island
The Ghost Dance on Punchbowl
The Poison Goddess of Molokai
... and about 50 more!
