Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very clean copy with a hint of shelf wear to the jacket. Written as a personal diary of a three-month trading voyage through the South Pacific in 1890, this fascinating travel narrative records Fanny Stevenson's experiences aboard the Janet Nichol with her husband, Robert Louis Stevenson, and their family. Travelling from Sydney through New Zealand, Samoa, the Cook Islands, Tokelau, Tuvalu, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands and New Caledonia, she vividly describes island life, trading vessels, colonial society, missionaries and encounters with Pacific peoples at a time of profound change.
