Editorial Review:
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.

One Book YOU'VE got to read!  2007-08-19
Herb Kawainui Kona is not only a wonderful artist, but also a wonderful story teller. Whenever we have family or guest visiting we ALWAYS make sure to send EACH of them home with a copy. (if we sent them only home w/ one there would be fights trust me)
Pele:Goddess of Hawaii's Volcanoes is a book about the stories of old Hawaii nei. While reading the stories, you will also find the most BEAUTIFUL painting of what Mr Kane sees. I so believe that Mr. Kane and Pele are related, or this man has meet tutu Pele. I believe you also will agree after reading this book. Also be sure to check out other items about this most awesome gentleman. If you are ever on the Island of Hawaii (aka The Big Island) be sure to go to Volcano Park and see his work up close. Also one might want to type Herb Kawainui Kane on google, yahoo. etc. I do hope that you buy this book and enjoy it has much as we have. Aloha
Beautiful book for those who love Hawaiian culture 2006-12-11
*****
This is a lovely short book (71 pages), spectacularly illustrated by the author. Even though the classification of this book is "juvenile literature", it is a collector's item for anyone who loves Hawaiian culture.
It is illustrated with black-and-white and color drawings by the author whose value alone surpasses the price of the book. There are many stories about Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes, written in an enjoyable style, exploring both past and current legends and folklore. The author, Herb Kawainui Kane, was elected a Living Treasure of Hawai'i, and does an excellent job with this book.

pele come to life 2006-06-30

Pele revealed  2004-02-10
A fascinating history of the goddess Pele in legend and history, telling her story from ancient Hawaii to the present. Particularly interesting is the author's description of people returning rocks taken from Hawaii in the belief that they have been cursed. It seems Pele's presence is still very much felt in Hawaii. The book is full of absolutely gorgeous illustrations, it would be worth buying for those alone, but the text is absorbing too. If you want to know about Pele, this book will tell you everything about her.
Pele still Lives! 2003-01-03
The Goddess Pele never died, She is stil; alive in Hawaii. This book although written by a non pagan brings Pele to life with his words. His art gives her beauty and power. Many who think her curse is a joke take rocks from her island and then live the curse of Pele if they survive they bring them back to Her island. This book reveals the history of Hawaii and tells how Pele was not a native Hawaiin. It also shows the degeneration of her worship through the conversion to the new religion Christianity. The illustrations are so very beautyful and do remind me so much of the beautyful firey Goddess Pele. Her worship is alive and well.
