A fondly sentimental series <strong>of</strong> character and local colour sketches centred on the
community in the Maluhonua valley above Honolulu, originally appearing 1943-6 in the
Honolulu Advertiser. Presents a lightly comic view <strong>of</strong> Hawaiian life tempered by a serious
tribute to "pride <strong>of</strong> race" and a theme <strong>of</strong> the easy-going, friendly Hawaiian resisting
encroachment on land and tradition by educating the younger generation to take their place in
the white pr<strong>of</strong>essional and political world. Illustrations by Madge Tennant.
