Facsimile reissue of the Westminster Press first edition of 1947, with a new introduction by the author's son, R. Christopher Goodwin.

The introduction draws on Goodwin's correspondence with the Westminster Press to tell how the book was commissioned as the first of a Hawaiian trilogy, why the sequels were abandoned, and how its young hero, John Blaine, gave Goodwin the pseudonym of the Rick Brant series.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good+. First Edition. Pictorial map endpages; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 188 pages; 22 cm. First edition. Publisher's bright orange cloth with title and pictorial design stamped in dark green, pictorial map endpapers of the Hawaiian Islands. With a four-page glossary of Hawaiian names and terms. Hal Goodwin's Hawaiian novel, published by the Westminster Press in 1947 just before his first Rick Brant book, and the source of his pseudonym: its young Yankee hero, taken off an American ship by the British and befriended by Kamehameha the Great, is John Blaine. The story builds to the Battle of Nu'uanu of 1795. According to the author's son, R. Christopher Goodwin, in his introduction to the fan-published reissue, the book was commissioned by Westminster editor Bill Heyliger as the first of a Hawaiian trilogy, contracted in 1945 under the working title "Island Kingdom" and rewritten by Heyliger to Goodwin's lasting displeasure. Westminster did little to promote it, surviving royalty statements show payments of under $25 a year, and the book was out of production by March 1952. The planned sequels gave way to Rick Brant. Snugly bound and very neat; publisher's green top stain bold and uniform. Mild shelf rubbing to the corner tips. In the original color pictorial dust jacket illustrated by Ursula Koering, unclipped with the $2.00 price on the front flap. Jacket very slightly sunned at the spine, with a few tiny nicks and chips along the edges. An unusually attractive copy of a book with a short life and a small sale.
