This is the story of two resourceful women. The one, Pamela Stephenson - biographer, mother, wife of Billy Connolly, psychologist and ex-comedienne - the other Fanny Stevenson - the 'Wild Woman of the West', as her husband Robert Louis Stevenson called her. Both married to maverick Scottish men, both in search of adventure and a kind of epiphany, both drawn for a myriad of reasons to the coral islands, lagoons, natives and customs of the South Seas.
Following in Fanny's wake, Pamela's encounters with the perils of the sea, the islanders - some of whom had never seen a blonde before - and latter-day pirates all make for compelling reading.
Soft cover, very good condition.
