Honu the Sea Turtle
Does anyone have any information about Hawaiian Sea Turtle legends? Or any good books specifically about Hawaiian Folklore and legends?
Thanks,
Callie

Re: Honu the Sea Turtle
I'd also be interested if anyone knows good books about Hawaiian legends/folk/fairy tales as well, especially regarding the turtle.

Re: the Sea Turtle
An interesting aside;
A lot of Native American Legends put the Earth
on the back of a turtle (as well as the Discwold series)
Also, some legends have Turtle Eggs involved...
