About
"In Samoan folklore a fagogo is a story told mostly at night, privately, inside individual homes. It transports the audience into the folklore world of heroes and heroines, of supernatural forces acting for good or evil, but is set against a background of typical local society, making it immediately comprehensible to Samoans of all ages. The stories contain songs sung by the narrators."- Publisher's blurb.
