title: "Escape to the Sun" signed poetry by Lloyd Stone,
1949 Haiti, Jamaica, Miami, Florida Keys, Nassau
ESQUIRE says: "Lloyd Stone was born . . . on a California desert . . . He went
to school . . . graduating from the University of Southern California as a music
major . . . supposed to be a teacher . . . joined a circus bound for Honolulu
instead . . . Quit the circus to design in a jewelry shop . . . later joined the
staff at Kulamanu Studios as pianist-composer . . . '
THE ISLANDER says: "Mr. Stone is probably among the most versatile contributors
to the arts of whom Hawaii can boast. His poetry reflects Hawaii. He does not
sing of the palms and the surf, but of the earthy human beauty which is the
heritage of the islands. He finds his niche as an interpreter of that which lies
beneath the lovely outward shell of Hawaii. He has made Hawaii his home. And
Hawaii is fortunate."
1949. Author signed & inscribed. First edition. Hardcover: black boards, silver
brad binding. 62 pages are heavy black paper with silver lettering and title and
blank magenta pages. Board covers have small cracks, bumps, edge wear, most of
