Item Description
Alice Guild comes naturally to her love of Hawaiian history and gift for storytelling. Alice’s fifty-year volunteer career with the restoration and preservation of `Iolani Palace led to her interest in stories associated with artifacts housed in Hawai’I’s museums. Her fables are spun around actual objects in these collections. The first published book, Kolea and The Chief’s Cloak, is based on the famous battle of Moku’ohai in Kona and the role that the chief’s cloak played in Hawaiian history. The story’s hero Kolea is one of the most beloved of Hawai’I’s native creatures. The second published book, Kolea and the King’s Crown that contains a strong message for any ages, “An object’s true value is determined not by its rarity and brilliance, but by the contribution it makes to our lives.”
