Norfolk Island

This book traces the history of the Bounty mutineers from their initial South Sea "paradise" through the rapid descent into a murderous hell on Pitcairn Island, followed by a deeply religious period, and then relocation to the "nearparadise" of Norfolk Island.The book concentrates on the lives and culture of Norfolk's inhabitants today but demonstrates how much their ancestors' extraordinary past still plays a dominant role in the daily life of their descendants.
