Produced by David Widger "Cumner's Son and Other South Sea Folk" by Gilbert Parker is a collection of short stories written during the early 20th century. The book primarily explores life in Australia and the South Seas, focusing on vivid personal experiences and customs of the inhabitants during that era. The title story, "Cumner's Son," introduces us to Colonel Cumner's son, a spirited and adventurous young man who becomes embroiled in a political and cultural crisis in the fictional town of Mandakan. The opening of "Cumner's Son" presents a tense atmosphere in Mandakan as the young protagonist engages in play with a local half-breed named Boonda Broke. As the narrative unfolds, we learn that the city is on the brink of upheaval, with the dying Dakoon's power waning and treachery simmering beneath its surface. Colonel Cumner and his men grapple with the urgency of needing someone to reach the outlaw Pango Dooni for assistance. In a bold choice fueled by courage, Cumner's son volunteers to make the dangerous journey, setting in motion an adventure filled with both peril and camaraderie as he embarks on a quest vital to the survival of his community.
