Description and Table of Contents
Description
The twins La'ieikawai and La'ielohelohe are separated at birth but remain linked by their great beauty and a series of unscrupulous admirers and fickle husbands. Eventually the sisters are reunited with the help of a colorful cast of characters, including a man-eating lizard, a ""cosmic"" spider, and a giant bird, and find happiness at last in each other's company. This timeless ka'ao, or legend, of long ago is lovingly retold and illustrated here by renowned Island artist and storyteller Dietrich Varez.
