New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, (1992.) dj. Hardcover first edition - A retelling for children by Michener, based on the award-winning Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, which was in turn based on 2 stories from Michener's Pulitzer Prize winning book 'Tales of the South Pacific.' Vividly illustrated in gorgeous full-color by Michael Hague. Includes a note from Michener in which he describes writing the book - and how uncommon the musical was for the era - 1949-1950 - in that it focused on race relations, and on how love could overcome prejudices.
