Ethnography of Fiddle/A Pattern Of Islands
A Pattern Of Islands (also known as We Chose the Islands in American editions) is a memoir first published in 1952 by Sir Arthur Grimble, recounting his time in the Gilbert and Ellice Islands as a cadet officer and Resident Commissioner in the 1920s.[1] The memoir gives a romanticized account of island life and colonial rule.[2] A British drama film Pacific Destiny based on the book was made in 1956.
