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 (illustratore). …
