Description:

A South Seas classic since 1966, this is the story of one New Zealander brave enough to do what we have all now and then dreamed of doing – live alone on a desert island



In his youth Tom Neale was an ordinary seaman and for years a shopkeeper among the Cook Islands, but he was in his fifties when he turned his back on society to live alone on the South Pacific atoll of Suvarov (now known as Suwarrow). With him he took nothing but a couple of cats, some bric-a-brac to tie and bolt his meagre dwelling, and the strength of body and mind to survive.

In the six years over which Neale wrote this autobiography there were heroic moments when he battled the elements: the furious hurricane that engulfed the coral islet; five desperate hours in a stormy lagoon with a cripplingly strained back; even a reluctant bit of blood-letting on wild pigs and a mammoth sea turtle.

But along with the toils and perils were years of peace and beauty: building a chicken coop; baking with banana leaves; the delight drawn from a sip of brandy; and taming a wild duck. All of these simple pleasures are a reminder of what we take for granted in our own lives today.

Great front pocket wallet/money clip
Size: One Size, Color: Brown
This was for my husband’s birthday. He loved it. He’s also a bit picky with his front pocket wallet/money clips. He doesn’t like the money clips with the magnet. This very good and holds a good wad of cash or a few bills without it being loose or him afraid he’s going to loose something. Also has the window for his license. Holds plenty of cards as well.

Gift for dad
Color: Vintage Cognac TF02
This leather trifold wallet is both stylish and functional. The leather feels high-quality and softens nicely with use, giving it a classic, worn-in look over time. It has plenty of compartments for cards, cash, and IDs, keeping everything organized without feeling bulky in my pocket. The stitching is solid, and the wallet feels durable enough to last for years. Overall, it’s a practical, elegant choice for anyone who wants a reliable wallet that combines functionality with timeless style.
