"A remarkable book about the Gilbert and Ellice islanders of the Pacific. It has sold over 650,000 in its British editions. Here is something extra to Sir Arthur Grimble's famous broadcasts.
Some of the highlights of what 'The Spectator' called, 'excellent yarns' are...a hilarious lesson in native manners...live human bait as a sensational way of catching an octopus...witchcraft in the family oven...demonstrations of whistling ghosts...the extraordinary 'calling of the porpoises'.
