A marvelous depiction of two sides of South Sea Islands' life through three separate tales. One, the experience of the incoming British keen to live free and exploit the innocent; the other the supernatural as perceived by Stevenson working in the lives of the natives.

The last is an effort of the pure Stevensonian imagination and there can be nothing better. - Summary by TONY ADDISON
