Synopsis
The funny, charming, and self-deprecating adventure story of a young man in the Pacific. Living for thirty years in the Gilbert & Ellis Islands, Grimble was ultimately initiated and tattooed according to local tradition, but not before he was severely tested, as when he was used as human bait for a giant octopus. Beyond the hilarious and frightening adventure stories, 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. This is anthropology with its hair down.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Good. Reprint. Cover has creases, pages lightly tanned otherwise clean and well bound 5 X 8" 264 pages. First published in 1952, stranger and funnier than fiction, this is the true story of an Englishman in the Pacific Islands. As an administrator in the Gilbert and Ellice Islands, Arthur Grimble lived among fishermen, sorcerers, fighters and poets - fascinating and lovable islanders who claimed descent from the Pandanus tree of the lord. Describing their dances and legends, spells, rituals and ways of life, recounting his adoption into the Sun clan, and an encounter with black magic, Arthur Grimble has given us a popular classic - a warm, humorous autobiography, a weird and wonderful adventure story. **Bundle Up * Save On Postage**.

A Pattern of Islands
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
