The story of how this material was secured was-for me- more
interesting than the material itself. The author, knowing Samoan
life as a visitor and scientist would know it, worked closely with
a Samoan youth of unusual mental quickness to secure an authentic
picture of the daily round of life of a boy growing up. At each
point, his native collaborator checked the progress of his story,
corrected not only facts, but interpretation and expression. The
finished story reads like a somewhat halting but almost poetic
rendition of the years in the life of a chief's son, his games, his
playmates, his schooling, his love life, finally his marriage,
parenthood, and achievement of man's estate. Of value chiefly to
students of anthropology. (Kirkus Reviews)
