Cumner's Son and Other South Sea Folk — Complete

"Cumner's Son and Other South Sea Folk" by Gilbert Parker, is a compilation of stories set in the early 1900s, transporting readers to Australia and the South Seas to witness up close the lives and traditions of the people who call these places home. In the lead story, "Cumner's Son," we meet the daring son of Colonel Cumner who finds himself in the middle of a political storm in Mandakan, a town teetering on the edge of chaos where an old leader’s decline stirs up hidden betrayals. With the city in desperate need of help from the outlaw Pango Dooni, the colonel's son steps up, volunteering for a risky mission that promises both danger and fellowship as he sets out to save his community.
