In The Isles Of The Sea - Frances Awdry - Bog

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 South Pacific region of Melanesia.

Awdry also provides vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of the islands, as well as the customs and traditions of the people who live there.
