The JOURNAL OF PRINCE ALEXANDER LIHOLIHO is an enthralling account written by King Kamehameha IV of Hawaii during his remarkable travels to California, Panama, America, England, and France at the age of 15 & 16 (while he was Crown Prince). This captivating book takes readers on a time-travel journey to the Victorian Age (the world of 1849 & 1850) providing a unique glimpse into the customs and technologies of that era. Despite English being his second language, the young royal impressively showcases his writing skills and delightful sense of humor, making the book a joy to read. Alexander’s candid yet diplomatic opinions add an authentic touch, leaving readers feeling personally connected to him. Don’t miss out on this delightful and insightful read.
