From Fiji To The Cannibal Islands is a travelogue written by Beatrice Grimshaw in 1907. The book chronicles her journey through the South Pacific, where she visited various islands including Fiji, Samoa, and the Solomon Islands. Grimshaw provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, cultures, and customs of the people she encounters during her travels. She also delves into the history of the region, including the impact of colonialism and the practice of cannibalism. Throughout the book, Grimshaw shares her personal experiences and observations, providing a unique insight into the South Pacific at the turn of the 20th century. The book is a fascinating account of a time when the region was still relatively unknown to the Western world, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of 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.
