Mark Twain, master storyteller, spent time in the ‘Sandwich Islands’ in the 1860s, on assignment from the Sacramento Bee newspaper. His book ‘Roughing It’ includes chapters with his stories of the life he chronicled in Hawaii and illustrations such as the view of Kealakekua Bay to the left. The Napo’opo’o and Honaunau area are featured  in several of his stories and we will be reading from those and enjoying his acerbic wit – and view of a time in Hawaii we can still see reminders of along our coast and trails. 

Join us for this fun recollection of Twain’s Hawaii. Storytelling begins at 6:30; potluck at  5:30. All ages welcome.

To read Twain’s Hawaii stories online, and see the great period illustrations, visit the Full Circle Learning Network, a sister program of One Island.
