The Garden of God (1923) is a novel by Henry De Vere Stacpoole. The
second in a trilogy of novels including The Blue Lagoon (1908) and
The Gates of Morning (1925), The Garden of God is a story of
romance and adventure inspired by the author's travels in the South
Pacific. The novel was adapted into the film Return to the Blue
Lagoon (1991), a sequel to the 1980 hit drama starring Brooke
Shields. "The whale boat and the dinghy lay together, gunnels
grinding as they lifted to the swell. [...] [B]eyond and around
from sky-line to sky-line the blue Pacific lay desolate beneath the
day. 'They are dead.' He was gazing at the forms on the dinghy, the
form of a girl with a child embraced in one arm, and a youth.
Clasping one another, they seemed asleep." Aboard the whaling
vessel Raratonga, Arthur Lestrange discovers his long-lost son and
niece after years of searching. As they pull up alongside their
fishing boat, however, he realizes they are too late-the
shipwrecked youths have succumbed to the elements. Between them, a
child lies asleep, offering some hope to the devastated father and
crew. Visited by Dick and Emmeline in a dream, Arthur endeavors to
return to Palm Tree, the island where they raised their son in
peace. There, the boy is brought up by his grandfather and a
crewmember named Jim Kearney, who keep him safe and teach him the
ways of survival. When a beautiful Kanaka native named Karolin
arrives from a nearby atoll, he discovers something no one could
have prepared him for: love. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Henry De Vere
Stacpoole's The Garden of God is a classic of British literature
reimagined for modern readers.
