The History of Prince Lee Boo, Son of Abba Thulle, King of the Pelew Islands: Brought to England by Captain Wilson is a historical book written by George Keate in 1823. The book tells the story of Prince Lee Boo, who was the son of Abba Thulle, the king of the Pelew Islands, located in the western Pacific Ocean. In 1783, Prince Lee Boo was on board a British ship, the Antelope, when it ran aground on the Pelew Islands. The crew was stranded on the island for several months, during which time they formed a close relationship with the islanders. Prince Lee Boo became particularly close with Captain Wilson, who took him back to England as a guest. The book provides a detailed account of Prince Lee Boo's life, his culture, and the customs of the Pelew Islands. It also describes his experiences in England, where he was introduced to British society and met with members of the royal family. The book is an important historical document as it provides insight into the culture and way of life of the Pelew Islanders, who were relatively unknown in Europe at the time. It also sheds light on the relationship between the British and the islanders during the 18th century.With An Account Of Lee Boo�������s Death.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
