Notes
General Note
Previously published as: Mr. Fortune's maggot.
Description
"After a decade in one South Seas mission, a London bank-clerk-turned-minister sets his heart on serving a remote volcanic island. Fauna contains neither cannibals nor Christians, but its citizens, his superior warns, are like children--immoral children. Still, Mr. Timothy Fortune lights out for Fauna. Yet after three years, he has made only one convert, and his devotion to the boy may prove more sensual than sacred."--Page 4 of cover.
Description
Long after Mr. Fortune's Maggot was published, Warner began the novella The Salutation. Now adrift and starving on the Brazilian pampas, Mr. Fortune is rescued by an elderly widow, who delights in having an Englishman about the house. Her heir, however, may beg to differ.
