Little Princess Ka'Iulani in Her Garden by the Sea

This is a delightful book for young readers or collectors of Kaiulaniana/Hawaiiana alike. Beautiful color illustrations by famous Hawaii artist Mary Koski, renowned for her paintings of multi-ethnic children. The cover in particular is a delight, showing the Princess in a beautiful velvet dress she wore as a child (still preserved in Honolulu's Bishop Museum), with a peacock's tail fanned out behind her - symbol of her love for the birds that lived on the grounds of her home. Simple but entertaining text based on real events in the Princess' growing up years.Crowe, Ellie is the author of 'Little Princess Ka'Iulani in Her Garden by the Sea', published 1998 under ISBN 9780971288515 and ISBN 0971288518.
