Maui wonders what it would be like to live forever. He enters the Goddess of Death and discovers stars, heavens and the gods. Missing his people, he is sent home by the highest god, Rehua, who gives him the special gift of being able to transform himself. Peter Gossage's brilliantly illustrated retelling of the traditional Maui saga is set in the Maori concept of the cosmos, heavens and underworlds.
