Anybody read "Call it Courage" by Armstrong Sperry? It's the classic young adult novel with a Tiki theme. It got some top-notch awards when they used to give awards to good books. Sperry was a great writer, and did some other excellent juvinalia about South Seas Adventures. He was also a frickin' trick artist, too, illustrating a lot of his own work.

Anybody ever heard of Captain Maine Read? He was an astounding 19th century author of seafaring/adventure/South Seas works.

Hey, I've got two short stories about adventures in the Northern Canadian Woods that are funny as hell. (The "Bob's Big Talk" series) They ain't Tiki, but they're pretty fun to read, and real outdoorsy.
