It frames a lagoon so clear that one can see the coral forests some ten fathoms below. It is the most remote, and probably the most beautiful, of all the Cook Islands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Book of Puka-Puka\u003c\/i\u003e is not about travel, it is about staying in one place. It is about living as a conspicuous stranger and slowly allowing yourself to become absorbed into the ways of an ancient, indigenous community. This book was not composed by a colonial administrator, a missionary or an anthropologist, but by a hedonistic South Sea trader - a young American who fishes, picnics, swims, sleeps and falls in love but fortunately also listens out for good stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Dean Frisbie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780601417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780601410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eland Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Robert Dean Frisbie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440026988799,"sku":"9781780601410","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3c1ed28-ae14-4ccb-bd6d-172c8ac56f2f.jpg?v=1777180130","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-book-of-puka-puka-robert-dean-frisbie-9781780601410","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
