Description The ancient legends of Maui-tikitiki-a Taranga are brought into the modern age with laughs aplenty. Join young Tutaeiti, a troubled teen, as he is instructed in the ways of his forefathers by his Koro, Tutaenui. Koro’s stories take us to a time when people could take their jawbones out at will, or change into different animals, when grandmothers could set things on fire with their fingernails and you could catch fish the size of a small South Pacific nation! Incredible? You’d better believe it.
