In the Strange South Seas
This work is an incredible account of the author's adventures in The South Sea Islands. In the book, Grimshaw recounts her adventures, describes the customs and lifestyles of the inhabitants, and gives a detailed picture of the region's fauna and wildlife. The book also contains reports of cannibalism, head-hunting, poisoning, and tribal magic. Starting from San Francisco, she sailed first to Tahiti, followed by a four-month voyage through the South Pacific and extra two months on the island of Niue. During this trip, she visited Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Rarotonga, and some parts of the Cook Islands. Soon after returning to London, she published "In the Strange South Seas." For the longest time, Grimshaw desired to travel the world, especially the mainly unexplored Pacific Ocean. In 1903 she was approached by the Daily Graphic to report on the Pacific. She was commissioned to write travelogues for shipping companies to promote the South Sea Islands. Beatrice Grimshaw illustrated this work with her own photographs and vivid descriptions of this fascinating region. The incredible imagery takes the readers who have never traveled to these places on a beautiful journey.

When the Red Gods Call
Temperament in a state of almost primordial rawness is given to us abundantly in Beatrice Grimshaw's Polynesian story "When the Red Gods Call." There is a good deal of grimness and cruelty in this book for it shows quite remorselessly how the inborn savage that still lurks pretty near to the surface veneer of culture under which we have most of us hidden him bursts forth triumphantly in those jumping-off places of civilization where law and order are unknown and might perforce has to make right. The sum and substance of this rather exceptional novel is the vengeance which one white man takes upon another on a remote and lawless island in the Southern seas after that other man has robbed him ...
Lady In the Strange South Seas
Beatrice Ethel Grimshaw (3 February 1870 - 30 June 1953) was an Irish writer and traveller. Beginning in 1903, she worked as a travel writer for the Daily Graphic and The Times. She had long harboured a desire to travel the world, especially the largely unexplored Pacific Ocean, and in 1903 she was engaged by the Daily Graphic to report on the Pacific. She was commissioned to write travelogues for shipping companies to promote the Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Samoa, and Tonga. She intended to stay a few months but remained for twenty-seven years. This adventure and romance novel "Lady In the Strange South Seas" is typical of Grimshaw's writing featuring the unique life and landscape of the early South Pacific Islands.
