Papuan Journey"This book is the fruit of a series of letters written by the author to friends in Australia, New Zealand, and England, during a four and a half months tour of all the stations of the London Missionary Society in Papua. It gives an intimate picture of Papua and the Papuan people, as well as of missionary life and work in that fascinating land today."--Dust jacket flap |
