Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Coconut Planter Did you ever read that old Celtic fairy tale about the henwife´s three daughters? They came, you know, in turn to their mother and said: "Mither, bake me a bannock and roast me a collop, for I´m gaun awa´ to seek my fortune." Then, when the mother had done so, they looked out of the door and saw a coach and six, or something like that, coming along the road, and the mother said: "Well, yon´s for you." And the daughter promptly got in and off she went. Well, that´s how I feel, only I haven´t any mother or bannock - or collop either, whatever collops may be - and my coach and six is just the Morinda. That´s the name of a flower that blooms only once in seven years in the islands, and of the boat I´m on. It´s to the islands I´m going - to seek my fortune. I wonder what I´ll find. Hut it´s the most scrumptious, thrilly feeling going into the world to seek your fortune. Every now and then, when I´m sitting up on the boat deck like this, I simply have to smile at the sea; I feel so Drakish. You know what I mean by Drakish, of course - Francis Drakish; I´m sure that´s how he must have felt when he set out on the adventure that circumnavigated him round the world. It´s an I-don´t-care-what-becomes-of-me, fill-´em-up-again sort of mood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
