In the early 1920s, Robert Dean Frisbie left for the tiny atoll of Pukapuka, Cook Islands, where he hoped that the isolated island would suit his needs to become a great writer. As the only white man on the island, Frisbie would marry, have children and live a life completely different from those of his American contemporaries. His writings would put Pukapuka on the map, and his adventures would become the stuff of Pacific Islands’ lore. This is the fascinating story of the American writer Robert Dean Frisbie and his extraordinary life and writings in the South Pacific.
