The Editor, TE AO HOU Dear Madam, MAUI'S FAREWELL The last thing in the world I'd want for anyone listening to Maui's Farewell would be an annotated copy of the text at his elbow. This could only come between the listener and Inia's telling of the tale. Your reviewer (TE AO HOU 73) and any other who is interested to read the text after hearing the record should be able to find the Nag's Head edition of it in a library; it is regretably out of print. Anyone wanting to read an agreeable and excellent extended account of Maui's exploits is referred to A. W. Reed's Treasury of Maori Folklore (A. H. & A. W. Reed 1963) which was my source-book for the piece. As far as annotations are concerned—and I remember no previous reviewer raising the question of their need—the translation of Maori words and phrases and saying lies somewhere nearby in the English of the next.
