In this narrative, Verschuur shares his experiences upon arriving on the islands, where he encounters the unique appearance and customs of the Fijians, who were once cannibals but have since embraced a more peaceful way of life under British rule. The book details his observations of the lush tropical environment and the daily lives of both the indigenous people and the European settlers.
