THE ISLAND OF
TRANQUIL DELIGHTS
"After a lapse of many years the author of 'Summer Cruising in the South Seas' presents the public with another series of South-Sea idyls. Of the first collection Emerson said—'I do not think that one who can write so well will find it easy to leave off.' The prophecy has come true. 'Summer Cruising in the South Seas' has become a classic in American literature, and the sequel bids fair to attain rank alongside of it. One might fitly describe it, in Mr. Kipling's words, as 'a very tropic of colour and fragrance.' There is a haunting quality about these idyls that must make them live in the hearts of all who read them. They are full of charming word-pictures and of exquisite touches which tell of dream life in fairyland—among the lightest, sweetest, wildest, freshest things that have been written about the life of these 'summer isles of Eden.'"—Glasgow Herald.
"A pretty book with a pretty title. Glimpses of Paradise he gives in these tropic pictures, and with something of idyllic grace he presents them."—Westminster Gazette.
