Once in Old Hawaii, in the days when anything was possible, supernatural kupua roamed the islands, challenging kings and chiefs, tricking men, women, and boys. Some of the tall tales included in this volume are of shape-shifters like Shark Man of Ewa. Others are of kupua with extraordinary powers like Kana. And there are men with rare and special weapons, such as Ka-ui-lani.
