KOHANA AU

Kohana Au has long been a writer associated with a number of projects 
throughout the Hawaiian Islands. As a student and lover of all that is 
Polynesia; from New Zealand to Hawaii, he shares his knowledge and 
understanding of these wonderful cultures.

The 1st edition of “Tales of the Mermaids of Waiahuakua -Those of the Sea," is 
a collection of traditional Hawaiian creation and romantic legends involving 
the mermaid . The book is beautifully and artfully illustrated. These legends 
include stories from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, the Marquesas’ as well as 
the Maori of New Zealand. 

"Since the time of the great voyages from Tahiti to Hawaii, the mermaid has 
been a part of the legend and lore. There are many tales of Hawaiian Mermaids 
dating back as far as when the first voyagers from Kahiki ventured forth upon 
the waters of the Pacific to populate “Hawaii…the land of green-backed and 
mottled seas.”
