A queen's journey

"There are few more intriguing characters in the history of Hawai'i than its last queen, Lili'uokalani--the island monarch who could just as easily read Shakespeare as 'sit barefooted on a woven mat.' A Queen's Journey is her tale, presented with mesmerizing detail by master storyteller James D. Houston, who captures the deep ambiguities of Lili'uokalani's magnetic personality and the tumultuous times in which she lived."--P. [2] of cover.
