First edition. 250pp, with occasional black and white illustrations in text. Bluecloth-covered boards with white decoration and lettering on spine. 8vo. Cloth a little worn, gently pushed at corners and spine tips, slight lean. A hint of creaminess to pages. In its original dust wrapper, worn with closed tears, chipped and chapped at edges, shelf worn with crumbling and minor loss at spine ends.

Grimble of the Colonial Administration Service left England the day after his wedding in 1914 for the far-flung corner of the British Empire – the Gilbert and Ellice islands in the Central Pacfic. His is his delightful story of the drama and romance of those atoll islands.
