Return to Paradise: Stories -- James A. Michener

James A. Michener, the master of historical fiction, revisits the scenes of his first great work, <i>Tales of the South Pacific, </i> the Pulitzer Prize winner that brought him international acclaim. In this sequel collection, Michener once again evokes the magic of the extraordinary isles in the Pacific--from Fiji and Guadalcanal to New Zealand and Papua New Guinea--through stories that burst with adventure, charm, and local color. For Michener's many fans around the globe, <i>Return to Paradise </i>is a precious second look at a land of enchantment by one of the most gifted storytellers of the twentieth century. <p/> <b>Praise for <i>Return to Paradise</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> "A brilliant book and a worthy successor to <i>Tales of the South Pacific</i>."<b>--<i>The Atlanta Constitution</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> "This is a book that should be read by everyone. . . .
