The book recounts the author's experiences and observations during his time in Fiji, particularly detailing the ancient customs, traditions, and cultures of the Fijian people before Western civilization had a profound impact on their way of life. The narrative centers on the author's adventures and interactions, including encounters with various locals, including the titular character, Princess Lolóma. The opening of the narrative introduces the author’s intent to preserve the fading aspects of Fijian culture, documenting the rich history and beliefs of the people he lived among. Initially, he recalls his youthful escapades in Sydney, where he befriended a bondsman named Joe Whitley, with whom he explores the surrounding areas. When Whitley is wrongfully imprisoned, the author embarks on a daring rescue mission, which leads him to escape aboard a ship bound for the South Seas. The adventure takes a perilous turn as the ship encounters a storm, shipwrecking them on the shores of Fiji, where they must navigate the treacherous local customs and dangerous inhabitants. Thus, the stage is set for the author’s encounters with the vibrant yet perilous life in Cannibal-land, and hints at the deeper connections he will establish with the people, particularly with Princess Lolóma.
