The Hawaiian Romance of Laieikawai, the first fictional work of literature produced by a Native Hawaiian. The story is based on a traditional legend about the princess Lāʻieikawai. The theme of songs and tales was rehearsed in prose and interspersed with oral songs by ancient Hawaiian storytellers. That's why it's an exciting mix of folklore and historical fiction.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1918 Edition.
In Hawaiian mythology, Laieikawai and her twin sister Laielohelohe were princesses, and were born in Laie, Oahu. They were seprarated and hidden away from their chiefly father who had all his daughters killed at birth, because he wanted a first born son. Laieikawai was hidden in a cave which was only accessed by diving in pool of water named Waiapuka. Soon it was well known that someone of royalty resided nearby because of the tell-tale rainbow that graced the sky above her cave dwelling.
