The 522 pages include the story, chants and color art images. The story of Hiʻiaka-i-ka-poli-o-Pele was published in the newspaper *Ka Naʻi Aupun* during the years 1905 and 1906. Perhaps a dozen distinct versions of the Hiʻiaka story were published in various Hawaiian-language newspapers of that era. Among the Hawaiian stories of Hiʻiaka, this version is the most outstanding, richly filled with chants and Hawaiian cultural knowledge. At the back of the book are indexes of images, chants and story segments. This story begins with Pele's voyage to Hawaiʻi in search of a home, eventually establishing herself at the fiery crater of Kīlauea. While Pele slept, the sound of a hula drum drew her spirit to Kauaʻi; there, she encountered the *moʻo* women of Kalalau and brought back the chief Lohiʻau to be her lover. Upon waking, Pele commanded her younger sisters to fetch Lohiʻau, but they each refused. Only Hiʻiakaikapoliopele consented to the request of her royal older sister. Armed with a magical skirt and extraordinary power, she journeyed with her companions to Kauaʻi, facing the perils and hardships of the path. Upon reaching Hāʻena, she found that Lohiʻau had already died; it fell to Hiʻiaka to restore the chief of Kauaʻi to life and bring him safely back to the queen of fire. This is a grand legend and a human story alike, filled with love and romance, jealousy and balance, and populated by gods, supernatural beings, chiefs, and commoners. Solomon Enos (illustrator).…
