Tales of the South Pacific

Tales of the South Pacific

by James A. Michener

  • LITERATURE
  • 1989
  • PAPER
  • 384 PAGES

This first of the big Michener novels, set in World War II Polynesia, won him the Pulitzer Prize in 1948. It's dated, certainly, but still a lot of fun. It was the basis for the Rogers & Hammerstein musical "South Pacific."  (PAC18, $7.99)
