I believe I have a copy of the original edition, published in 1932

The subject is fascinating , and would be much more interesting to a true scientist, but to me it is much too scientific, and it ended up boring me to tears
There are some very interesting black and white photos of Nonsuch Islanders and some of the wildlife he studied there

Really great in its ability to put you in a different place and time.
