"During 1957 and 1958, Bruce Alexander and Larry Wordsworth, two young and newly qualified land surveyors from Christchurch and Auckland, travelled to the Kingdom of Tonga to start work on an official Cadastral Survey. Their task: to help fulfil the Constitutional requirement that every Tongan man should be allocated an area of arable land for the support of his family. For over 18 months they embraced the Tongan way of life and were welcomed into villages and homes around the islands. They made the most of this unique opportunity to record aspects of life in a country visited by few outsiders at that time. The result is an intriguing portrait of an island nation as it started to undergo dramatic social and economic changes in the late 1950s"--Back cover.
