London, Allen & Unwin [1957].. Hard Cover. 204 p., index, plates (photos), maps; 22 cm. Translated from the Swedish 'Söderhavets Glömda Öar'. 'Bengt Danielsson, since his arrival in the South Seas on the Kon-Tiki raft, has spent a great deal of time on the island groups. This is the story of his travels with his wife to the Marquesas after ill-health and the inadequate diet had forced them to leave Raroia. With the trained eye of the anthropologist and the sympathetic attitude of a tolerant and friendly man, he describes the people and the [Marquesas] islands and records their many contradictions of character. …They are made real and understandable by Danielsson's accurate and vivid descriptions.'
