South Pacific Mythology is a very well-written and put together book.  The reader will learn that the South Pacific is called Oceania, and that is divided into four main regions.  Each region is composed of several islands and cultures.  What is interesting is that although the regions are near each other and share many characteristics, the myths of each culture is different and not many, if any, overlap.  Another interesting point is how South Pacific mythology differs from other cultures, such as, Gods are created out of nothingness.    In other aspects, this book has a distinct color palette of earth tones running through it.  There is also an upper and lower border along each page using an Aboriginal pattern which unifies the book.  Each chapter encompasses two complete pages, defining the origins of the myths, giving an example, and using a visual graphic.  This is a complete book of mythology and should be included in every school library’s mythology section, along with the Greek and Roman mythology.
