Fiji and the Fijians : Vol. 1 - The Islands and Their Inhabitants

<p>Written in the forties and fifties of the last century, and published in 1858, Rev. Thomas Williams’ remarkable classic still provides by far the best single insight into Fijian life as it was before the widespread and profound impact of Christianity. An outstanding scholastic feast which quite dwarfs many more recent studies, the book contains a wealth of reliable and detailed information on most aspects of Fijian culture, presented in highly readable form. As such it is standard, indeed essential background reading for all interested in Fiji and things Fijian.</P>.
