ABOUT
Sailing from Pape'ete on the Morning Star, the author set out to "see what he could see" and "learn what he could learn." What he saw, and what he learned, are part of the story he tells. It is for those who stay at home yet dream of foreign places that I have written this book, a record of one happy year spent among the simple, friendly cannibals of Atuona valley, on the island of Hiva-oa in the Marquesas.
Illustrations from photographs throughout in monochrome.
