Rarotonga
p. 45 · Read in the full issue
This is the cover of a small book that has been produced in Rarotonga, Cook Islands by Denis E. McMahon, with illustrations by John Brown, a young Rarotongan, self-taught, who shows quite re markable promise.
In the text, McMahon tells something of the modern life of the Rarotongans in a way that, as he says himself, shows the truth with out entirely dispelling the romance.
The book is produced by some roneo process and in this first edition has been collated and bound by hand. Nonetheless it is quite attractive for the purpose for which it was produced—giving visitors and tourists a quick glimpse of Rarotonga. The booklet has already become popular amongst passengers on cruise ships and the Matson vessels.
Mr. McMahon sells the booklets for 5/6NZ or 6/6 Aust., including postage. Anyone interested should contact him direct Rarotonga, Cook Islands, is sufficient address.
