About

The funny, charming, and self-deprecating adventure story of a young man in the Pacific, living for thirty years in the Gilbert & Ellis Islands working for the Colonial Office. A Pattern of Islands is also a true testament to the life of these Pacific islanders. Grimble collected stories from the last generation who could remember the full glory of the old pagan ways.

Illustrated with numerous monochrome line drawings, including map.
