First published in 2005. Six Months in Hawaii , set in the islands in 1873, is the compelling account of the true life adventures that transformed a quiet English lady into the darling and dashing world traveller Isabella Bird, whose exploits held the world enthralled. She spent six months journeying through the islands, cantering through lush forests and grasslands on spirited ponies, drifting over the rolling blue season raffish schooners, and finally making her way to the fiery volcano of Mauna Loa.
