Princess Kaiulani Book

Excellent reading. Have given out several books as gifts and they were well received.

Lyrical, metaphysical, suspenseful, romantic history!

Beautifully lyrical, with an eloquence that matches the period of the Hawaiian Monarchy. The metaphysical flavor adds to the extraordinary quality of the story. At halfway point, I had to skip to the end -- the suspense was too much.

A rarely seen side of Robert Louis Stevenson

A fascinating story, poignant, historical. The tale captures the poetic side of Stevenson as well as the beauty of Princess Kaiulani and the turbulent era of the monarchy overthrow in Hawaii.

Enchanting historical romance; detailed study of character

An enchanting story of the brief, tragic life of Princess Victoria Kaiulani in which the author reveals the "buried treasure" of her encounter with Robert Louis Stevenson.

A haunting, provocative story.

Robert Louis Stevenson and Princess Victoria Kaiulani's intense friendship -- a haunting and provocative story.
