Three tales from the years Stevenson spent in the Pacific. In The Beach of Falesá the trader Wiltshire takes a local bride and runs foul of a rival who rules the island through fear; The Bottle Imp tells of a Hawaiian who buys a bottle that grants any wish at a heavy price; and The Isle of Voices takes a young man to an island of sorcerers.
