Mr. Fortune's Maggot / The Salutation

Sylvia Townsend Warner
3.65/5 (310 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
After a decade in one South Seas mission, a London bank-clerk-turned-minister sets his heart on serving a remote volcanic island. Fanua contains neither cannibals nor Christians, but its citizens, his superior warns, are like children—immoral children. Still, Mr. Timothy Fortune lights out for Fanua. Yet after three years, he has made only one convert, and his devotion to the boy may prove more sensual than sacred.

Five years after Mr. Fortune's Maggot, the novella The Salutation was published. Now adrift and starving on the Argentinian 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.

Mr. Fortune's Maggot and its sequel are now available for the first time ever in one volume.
