Coral Sands
Coral Sands
Author of “Cabin No. 5,” “The Tomb of the Elephants,” Etc.
Mr. Stacpoole proves in this splendid tale that a story of the South Seas, in order to be interesting, does not have to concern people stranded upon a desert island. He penetrates here to the heart of a tiny community hidden away in an obscure coral island, and builds, bit by bit, a beautiful and dramatic novel of that life.
