This book is the fruit of a collaboration between author-anthropologist Terence Barrow and artist-illustrator Ray Lanterman. It is a worthy successor to their INCREDIBLE HAWAil published by the Charles E.Tuttle Company in 1974. The first book was received with enthusiasm by tourists, residents, and school readers of various grades. Teachers said it enlivened Hawaiian history. The fifty-two illustrated essays of MORE INCREDIBLE HAWAII, are even more fascinating than the first series. The convenient format chosen by the publisher is again that of the standard Tut Book noted for high quality pap.
