Faery Lands of the South Seas
James Norman Hall
Hardcover
(Garden City, Jan. 1, 1921)
Written in 1921, this book has already become "quaint" and nostalgic. The authors' naive descriptions of the Islands, World War II, and recent globalization has made the book a curiosity. Charles Nordhoff (1887-1951), and James Hall served together as U.S. Air Service pilots in World War I, had a highly successful literary partnership that lasted nearly 30 year and produced several worldwide bestsellers.
