Steven" - that being beloved juvenile fiction author Katherine M. Yates, author of the magical A Tale From the Rainbow land and a number of other titles. Yates presumably took the pseudonym for this one because it was her first venture into detective/mystery fiction, being the tale of two troublesome sisters diving into a Hawaiian mystery, and this was at the time a bit off her established track. Not to worry - it turned out just fine; remarkable and charming fiction. Books with Yates' signature are extremely scarce, yet it is here twice, with a nice Hawaiian inscription. L19n.

Text is unaffected by dampstain. A Good book in a Good dust jacket. A unique mystery novel set in O'ahu, Hawai'i. This is a story that combines mystery with humor. Please note this book contains negative stereotypes of and derogatory terms used toward Chinese and Japanese people. Excerpt from front flap: "The situations are thoroughly human and the romance which is interwoven, has its full complement of ups and downs, the 'downs' being chiefly engineered by the delectable sisters, Kat and Copy-cat. The local color of the story is particularly vivid and is indicative of the author's familiarity with the scenes depicted." Katherine Yates (1865-1951) was a Canadian-American author who wrote under different pen names including the one used for this book, E. E. Steven. Yates lived in Ontario, the United States on the mainland, and Honolulu, Hawai'i. By 1910, Yates had moved to Honolulu after living in Chicago. Yates remained in Honolulu until 1942 amid the tumultuous circumstances of World War II. She moved back to the mainland and lived in California. Yates may have also traveled to other parts of the world outside of Canada and the U.S. as there are records that she applied for passports to countries such as Tahiti, New Zealand, China, India, Japan, (possibly) the Philippines, Europe, and the British Isles.…
