It's "essentially a plea for the preservation of her kingdom [and] also a portrayal of the life and customs of 19th-century Hawaii -- and, incidentally, of the United States and Europe -- seen through the shrewd and observant eyes of an internationally famous person who was basically a sympathetic and understanding woman." 414p. illus bibliography.
