Publisher's Synopsis
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 recounts her fifty-year journey, from her arrival in the islands as a young woman to her eventual retirement as an elderly woman. She describes the challenges she faced in adapting to the local culture and language, as well as the struggles she encountered in trying to spread Christianity in a region with deeply ingrained traditional beliefs. 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. The book offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of Melanesia, as well as the role of missionaries in the region during the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
