Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. Johnny Noble played a major role in the development of Hawaiian music as we understand it today. He blended melodious ancient music of the hula with the 'blues" or jazz and created the rhythmic melodies of Hawaii. It is signed "Me Ke Aloha Emilie Noble Mattson on the front end page. by Emilie Noble Mattson who, I am guessing, was Johnny Noble's daughter who was born in 1922. On January 13, 1944 Commander C. J. Mattson had invited Johnny and Emilie to join him for dinner at Kewalo Inn. When curfew hour approached Johnny and Emile left the inn and returned to their car. While driving hom Emilie "hear a sigh and Johnny Noble was dead. Additional research would be necessary but I am convinced the record would show that Emilie Noble married Commander Mattson.

Eric Alfred Knudsen (1872 - 1957) was an American writer, folklorist, lawyer and politician who grew up and lived on Kauai, Hawaii. His father was Valdemar Knudsen, a west Kauai sugar plantation pioneer. He was a member of the Hawaii House of Representatives and served as its Speaker from 1905 to 1907. He is most known for his writings and collections of short stories of and about Hawaiian folklore and culture. Co-author Gurre Evelyn (Ploner) Noble (b. 1902), a woman, wrote several children's and adult books relating to Hawaii. Y. Oda may possibly be yet another variant of the name of the artist known as Frank Y. Oda, Frank Yasutaro Oda, or Yasutaro Oda (1915-2001), who illustrated books on the insects of Hawaii and the flowers of Hawaii at about this time, but this is not certain. This is the true first edition and not the one published in 1945 by a different publisher. I have compared the two editions and the photos in the 1945 edition are significantly less sharp than those in the 1944 edition. "It is of Kauai that this story shall tell, the first of the islands to spring from the sea, the oldest and fairest. We shall go back to a time when few white people had settled there, when strong, bronzed men still lived in grass houses, living simply and happily together. This is the saga of Kauai, and of Kanuka, the tall, blond Norwegian who became a king." {from the Prologue]. Y. Oda (illustrator). …
