The Blue Lagoon is book one in H. de Vere Stacpoole's classic romance trilogy. Two young teens, Dick and Emmeline, are stranded on an idyllic, South Pacific island after a shipwreck. The two spend their days swimming, diving for pearls, and exploring their bountiful island. Slowly as they, grow they fall into an innocent love. Ignorant of their human sexuality, they do not understand or know how to express their physical attraction to one another. The two conducted their courtship just as the birds conduct their love affairs. Their relationship develops absolutely, naturally, blameless and without sin, a marriage according to nature. This classic tale has inspired multiple major motion pictures.
