FIJI . . . the way the world should be. This phrase, used by the Fiji Visitors Bureau in its world-wide advertising is a perfect description of Fiji. This book portrays in pictures and brief words the way an artist sees 'the world as it should be'. For Cathy Hamilton, Fiji has always been evocative of warmth, sunshine and smiling friendly people. But even more than the people, it is the flowers and scenery of the islands that have left her with the most lasting impression. This, the artists second book, records delight- fully with gentle touch the vibrant colours, the flowers, the history, the legends and the beauty that is Fiji. Catherine Hamilton's portrait of Fiji will travel easily around the world; wherever it goes it will bring back memories to those who have lived in or visited Fiji. Those unlucky enough not to have seen these beautiful South Pacific tropical islands will, perhaps, pause, look and resolve that this is one place they must visit. Fiji encompasses more than 300 islands scattered across 230,000 square kilometres in the South-West Pacific. Of those 300 islands, only one-third are inhabited, but on many the warm tropical climate creates a flower lovers paradise and truly makes the Fijian Islands The Garden Isles.
