A missionary who lived among the Dyaks of Sarawak explains their world for young readers: the jungles, the coming of the White Rajah, the longhouse village, how babies are raised and children play and work, the old practice of head-hunting, the birds and beasts of the island and folk tales such as the clever mouse-deer.

A gentle introduction to Borneo’s peoples, with the outlook of an Edwardian missionary. Download the free EPUB.
