Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South Seas (Melanesia) A long way away from England and Europe, far away from civilization and the present day - almost, as it were, in the times of Mr. Punch's Prehistoric Peeps - lie The Black Islands. Geographically they are labelled Melanesia, but if you know any Greek - and perhaps, like the author, you don't - you will understand that that designation and Black Islands amount to pretty much the same thing. But you will not understand so readily, perhaps, why they are The Black Islands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
