About the Book

Originally written as a series of sketches for an American magazine, this is Stevenson's record of the first year he and his family spent travelling around the Marquesas, the Paumotus and the Gilbers. Stevenson quickly discovered the captivation of the South Seas, prophetically remarking that "few men who come to the islands leave them; they grow grey where they alighted; the palm shades and the trade winds fan them until they die".
