In The Isles Of The Sea - Frances Awdry

In The Isles Of The Sea: The Story Of Fifty Years In Melanesia (1903) is a memoir written by Frances Awdry about her experiences as a missionary in the islands of Melanesia. The book details her journey from England to the South Pacific and her work among the indigenous people of the region. Awdry writes about the challenges she faced in adapting to a new culture, learning the local languages, and establishing relationships with the islanders. She also describes the customs, beliefs, and traditions of the Melanesian people, as well as the impact of colonialism and Christianity on their way of life. Throughout the book, Awdry shares stories of the people she met and the experiences that shaped her understanding of the world. The book provides a unique perspective on missionary work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and offers insight into the complex relationship between Westerners and indigenous peoples in the South Pacific.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
