ON COPRA SHIPS AND CORAL ISLES

DESCRIPTION
The story of the author's travels in the Pacific islands of Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Islands in the mid 1960s.
This is the intimate story of a woman journalist who voyaged alone into remote regions of the Pacific Islands. Impelled by the irresistible forces of itchy feet and editorial assignments she endures the raw discomforts of scorching decks and stinking cargoes, of cockroach-infested cabins and hurricanes, and the exciting necessity of "jumping" jagged reefs from incoming wave-crests in frail canoes. She describes the vivid colour and breathless beauty of seldom-seen coral atolls where natives live an idyllic existence untouched by the problems of modern civilization.
Includes monochrome images.
