About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown, and Company, 1934. First edition. Hardcover. Very good copy. 8vo. Cloth. Pp. viii, 338. Maps on end-papers. This is the well-known story of what happened to the Bounty mutineers after they left Tahiti in search of a similar idyllic island in the South Pacific where they could settle.
