Summary: No - If you're Interested in the Bounty
Comment: I confess my main interest was reading about the Bounty mutineers and their life on this island. There is little of that in this book, and it may well be that not much more is known, but to me it was a disappointment. If you're solely interested in the history of this island - how it came to be formed, populated, what it's like there - then you will probably like this book. Also, though this may seem petty, the book is in an odd shape - quite large, and flimsy softcover - not easy to store on your library shelves (if you want to keep it, that is).

Rating: 5
Summary: Everyday Folks with a History
Comment: Beginning with several chapters devoted to the Bounty Mutiny that resulted in the Pitcairn colony, Murray covers the island itself, the history of the Pitcairners, day-to-day life on the island, movies made about the Bounty saga, and thoughts on the future of this isolated place. The book is written in a relaxed, informative style, liberally illustrated with photographs and artifacts. An excellent book for a public or high school library.
