Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover.; 192 pages + plates. Blue boards with silver lettering on spine. Page dimensions: 215 x 136mm. New Zealand publisher's name "Whitcombe & Tombs" printed at tail of spine of book and dust-jacket. "This is the intimate story of a woman journalist who voyaged alone into remote regions of the Pacific Islands. Impelled by the irresistible forces of itchy feet and editorial assignments she endures the raw discomforts of scorching decks and stinking cargoes, of cockroach-infested cabins and hurricanes, and the exciting necessity of "jumping" jagged reefs from incoming wave-crests in frail canoes. She describes the vivid colour and breathless beauty of seldom-seen coral atolls where natives live an idyllic existence untouched by the problems of modern civilization." - from dust-jacket blurb.
