About this book
Legends of Tahiti, the Marquesas, the West Highlands and Galloway are told in verse in this second edition of Stevenson's Ballads, issued by Chatto & Windus in 1895. The poems are The Song of Rahéro, The Feast of Famine, Ticonderoga, Heather Ale and Christmas at Sea, most with notes.
The Tahitian poem starts with a dedication to Ori a Ori, whom Stevenson calls his brother in the island manner, signed with the name Teriitera. Its first part follows the youth Támatéa, who goes fishing and carries a fish toward the king at his mother's urging.
