Reprint ed. Paperback trade, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), thick card covers (with flaps), few black & white photos, maps, minor edgewear. 282 pp. This book by Neil Rutherford is about Reverend Shirley Waldemar Baker, who arrived from London's East End after Tupou I, the first king of Tonga, asked for his help. The book relates the life and times of this gruff, bewhiskered Methodist minister who was a curious character often at odds with his peers. Baker's achievements, whether motivated by altruism or self-preservation, contributed significantly to the Tonga we know today. N° de réf. du vendeur 41519
