MILD ADVENTURE
OUR VIRGIN ISLAND, by Robb White; Victor Gollancz, English price 13/6. ‘THERE’S something of Robinson Crusoe (1953 edition) about this humorous and colourful story of mild adventure on the islet of Marina Cay in the British Virgin Islands of the West Indies. However, as well as a competent equivalent of Man Friday, there’s a wife in the case, and a very self-reliant and ‘dependable woman at that. The author has been an American naval officer, and those who like stories of sailing are promised special enjoyment. Some bitter resentment against British administrators. or, at least those in the colonial service, may be taken as spice to the
yarn.
