South Sea Yarns (1894)

South Sea Yarns is a collection of short stories written by Basil Thomson and first published in 1894. The stories are set in the South Pacific and are based on the author's experiences as a colonial administrator in the region. The book includes tales of adventure, romance, and intrigue, with vivid descriptions of the exotic landscapes and cultures of the islands. The stories feature a diverse cast of characters, including European traders, native islanders, and missionaries, and explore themes of colonialism, cultural conflict, and the clash between tradition and modernity.
