James Norman Hall

Seven-year-old Roger Avery takes a trip to Mother Goose Land, where he meets several nursery rhyme characters, including Miss Muffet, the crooked man and his crooked house, and the cow who jumped over the moon.

One of my favourite books; of special interest to lovers of the storied lands of the South Pacific

In 1933, Hall sailed from Tahiti to Pitcairn Island. He was shipwrecked on an unihabited coral island. He and his crew sailed in a small cutter to the nearest inhabited island.

Before MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY, Hall and Nordhoff wrote this nonfiction book about the South Seas islands. All of the islands described lie in the Paumotu, Society and Hervey Groups. A super early 20th century look at Paradise!
