Journey to Pitcairn.
Sydney, Australia: Angus and Robertson, 1966. 1st printing. xviii, 245 pages.
Bibliography. Photographs. Illustrations. Endpaper illustrations.
Includes an account of the author's stay on Pitcairn Island and of the life

returned from the mass migration to Norfolk Island. He watched them at work in
their gardens and homes, at their crafts of wood-carving and basket-making,
their community efforts of boat-building and fishing, and saw for himself the
steep and beautiful hills and valleys that were once the scene of treachery and
massacre, and the rocky shore where the famous Bounty met her end. - Front
jacket panel. Very good hardcover in slightly worn dust jacket. Former owner's
stamp on front flyleaf. #25554. $35
