Robert Louis Stevenson is one of the best-loved writers in the English language. Over 30 biographies have been written about him, yet this highly readable account of the last years of his life and his death in Samoa is very different. Treasured Islands is the account of Stevenson's desperate search for health, and his fulfillment of a life-long ambition of crossing broad oceans in tall ships to gain an understanding of what it means to share a cultural world beyond the frontiers of civilized society. It is the story of a literary giant and his supportive but somewhat eccentric family—his wife Fanny, mother Maggie and stepson Lloyd—and the ships—the Casco, the Equator, and the Janet Nicoll—that transported them to high adventure in the South Pacific between the years 1888 and 1890. The story also has other interesting characters—capable and colorful boat crews, beachcombers, island potentates and their subjects in the Marquesas, Tahiti, the Tuamotus, Hawaii and Samoa. It describes life in the late 1880s on these islands, European economic exploitation, cultural stability and change of indigenous populations, and the day-to-day life aboard commercial sailing vessels. An eager student of Polynesian cultures, Stevenson lived in the South Pacific for the remainder of his short life.

Mr. Holmes' study is . . . the basic stuff of competent ethnography, that combination of science and art in which the details of daily life are systematically observed, analyzed and constructed into a cultural account. . . He concludes that Margaret Mead was essentially correct in her depiction of coming of age in Samoa in 1925, concerned as she was to compare it with adolescence in the United States at that time. New York Times Book Review Thanks to Holmes' compelling review of the 'great debate,' we see all these things more clearly because he is acting as more than just an informed guide to the facts and the issues; he is providing an insightful exposition on the nature of anthropological inquiry.
