A nineteenth century adventure story of three teenaged boys shipwrecked on a Pacific island. At first they lead an idyllic life but this is soon interrupted by the arrival on the island of rival Polynesian war parties and then pirates. After various adventures the boys find themselves in possession of the pirate’s ship and can sail for home.

Another 1001 book read. Adventure. Action. Pirates. Cannibals. Murder. Treasure. Mystery. What more does a book need?
Makes for an interesting companion piece with William Golding's Lord of the Flies, but it is very much dated with the sentiments of its own time.
