Written as the United States acquired islands after 1898, Skinner’s collection gathers legends of the Caribbean and the Pacific: phantom ships and buccaneers, floating islands of the Atlantic, the legends of early Puerto Rico, and Hawaiian tales of the little night-working Menehune who must finish every task before dawn.

A readable gathering of island legends, framed by the imperial outlook its title proudly announces. Download the free EPUB.
