When Major Delaunay and his party of French settlers and African slaves landed in Seychelles in August 1770 the only inhabitants were crocodiles, giant tortoises, and birds. What happened to these creatures and to the French settlers and their slaves in this Garden of Eden is described in William McAteer's first book of Seychelles history. The French held the Seychelles islands for only 40 years, but they forged a cultural identity which a century and a half of British rule has been unable to blur.
