About This Item
Doubleday & Company, Garden City, New York 1961 Hardcover, 21.5cms x 15cms, with dust jacket GOOD book in GOOD price-clipped dust jacket For many years several leading anthropologists have disputed whether or not the staid Polynesian island of Ra'ivavae was once the seat of an orgiastic pagan religion. To discover the truth, Donald Marshall led his research team to Polynesia, and by interviewing elder natives, investigating newly found artifacts and remains of ancient temples, and looking for clues in the legends and language, put together this revealing picture. Book has 26 b&w photographs and many drawings.
