A Pattern of Islands by Sir Arthur Francis Grimble and Arthur Grimble is a humorous and adventurous account of life in the Pacific. Living among the Gilbert & Ellis Islands for thirty years, Grimble recounts his experiences, including being used as human bait for a giant octopus.

Grimble collected these stories, providing a fascinating anthropological account that sheds light on the culture and traditions of the region. With its engaging narrative and valuable historical context, A Pattern of Islands is an interesting read for anyone looking to learn more about the Pacific islands and their people.
