The King and People of Fiji (1866) centres on the biography of Thakombau (Cakobau), Fiji's chief from 1817-1883, blending it with ethnographic details of Fijian society before the 1854 Christian reformation. It covers pre Christian manners, customs, superstitions, court politics, mythology, community structures, inter-island warfare, cannibalism rituals (like consuming war captives and widows), and hospitality toward missionaries and visitors. Chapters open dramatically, such as "First Blood" depicting young Thakombau's initiation in revenge killings.
