Books - Folklore, History, Culture

I’m sailing to FP in the spring and plan to spend a year cruising the big and remote islands.

I love reading about a new place before I go, not only “things to do” and guidebooks but also culture, folklore, histories. Both nonfiction and fiction (folklore/religion) and archeological are encouraged.

So far I’ve found:

Sea People: The Puzzle of Polynesia by Christina Thompson

Tales of Polynesia by Yiling Changues

Tahiti Beyond the Postcard by Miriam Kahn

I would love some more suggestions Thanks!
