| Summary | "The Spell of the Hawaiian Islands and the Philippines" by Isabel Anderson is a travel and historical account written in the early 20th century. A blend of personal narrative and cultural exploration, the book delves into the islands' unique political and social landscapes, alongside vivid descriptions of their natural beauty and enchanting customs. The author recounts her journeys through Hawaii and the Philippines, capturing the allure of both regions as well as the complexities of their historical status during the time of writing. The opening of the work presents the author's first voyage to Hawaii aboard the ship "Gaelic", where she describes an idyllic journey across the Pacific and her impressions upon arrival at Oahu. She paints a vivid picture of the flora, fauna, and local culture, including insights into the legends, myths, and American presence in the islands. The chapter sets the tone for her experiences, blending nostalgia with observations about the islands' transition from independent governance to integration with the United States, all while expressing a deep appreciation for the tropical paradise before her.
