"Children of Borneo" provides valuable insight into the social customs, manners, and lives of the children of Borneo, the largest Island in Asia. The writer, Reverend Edwin Herbert Gomes, was an Anglican missionary in Sarawak at the beginning of the twentieth century. He talks about the children of Ibans, or Sea Dayaks, a branch of the Dayak people on the island of Borneo, in detail in this work, giving an idea of what things were like in those days.

Excerpt from With the Wild Men of Borneo Little is known of the early history of Borneo, although European navigators and traders touched its shores about the year 1511, in search of the riches of the East. The Portuguese were the first to establish commercial relations with the island; and during the sixteenth century, Spanish traders tried, with some success, to obtain a share of this profitable commerce.

Excerpt from Mr. Podd of Borneo The visitor, a small dark man, painfully thin, bowed again silently, and looked at the tennis court with an air of marked disapproval. There was an uncomfort able pause. A certain dampness which might or might not have been the aura of a great and important official began to spread.

Excerpt from The Castaways: A Story of Adventure in the Wilds of Borneo A Boat upon the open sea - no land in sigth! It is an open boat, the size and form showing it to be the pinnace of a merchant-ship. It is a tropical sea, with a fiery sun overhead, slowly coursing through a sky of brilliant azure. The boat has neither sail nor mast. There are oars, but no one is using them. They lie athwart the tholes, their blades dipping in the water, with no hand upon the grasp. And yet the boat is not empty. Seven human forms are seen within it, - six of them living, and one dead. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Adventures in Borneo: A Tale of Shipwreck The first thing I can recall to my recollection is a mean house in a dreary street towards Gray's Inn Lane, where I lived with my father and mother. They, however, were neither mean nor dreary. Throughout the years that have since elapsed, I have rarely seen a nobler-looking man than my father, and never, decidedly never, a more beautiful woman than his wife. He was grave, indeed, - much graver than my mother; and I attributed the different impression they made upon me to the black colour of his dress, while she was constantly attired in white, or some light quaker-colour, pleasant to look on. I did not then know that the black coat I thought so mournful, was simply the livery of a grave profession. - My father was in orders.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
