From Fiji To The Cannibal Islands (1907)

By Beatrice Ethel Grimshaw and Beatrice Grimshaw

Book Overview

""From Fiji To The Cannibal Islands"" is a travelogue written by Beatrice Grimshaw and originally published in 1907. The book recounts Grimshaw's journey from Fiji to the Solomon Islands, where she explores the customs, traditions, and cultures of the indigenous people. Grimshaw's vivid descriptions transport readers to the remote and exotic locations she visits, from the bustling markets of Suva to the isolated villages of the Solomon Islands. Along the way, she encounters cannibalism, headhunting, and other practices that were largely unknown to Westerners at the time. Despite the dangers and challenges she faces, Grimshaw approaches her travels with a sense of curiosity and respect for the people she meets. ""From Fiji To The Cannibal Islands"" is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of exploration and adventure in the South Pacific.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
