Where the hell is Tuvalu? : how I became the law man of the world's fourth-smallest country

  • Description

    "Imagining turquoise seas, sandy beaches and lush tropical seas, Ells flies off to the Pacific island state of Tuvalu armed only with his Voluntary Service Overseas briefing and his hope of finding paradise ... In this hilarious, dramatic and insightful book, Philip Ells describes with self-deprecating wit the collision between himself and the Pacific Islanders' sometimes extraordinary behaviour"--Jacket.
