The Rain Tree
by Andrew Mudie

1817, Feejee sees the birth of Ratu Seru Cakobau, heir to the Island position of Paramount Chief. Born a heathen cannibal, Cakobau grows into a giant ogre feasting on a diet of human flesh whilst practicing the heinous art of voodoo.
William Brown is born in 1825 and grows up in the misery of the jute mills of Dundee. Later, he is brought to the attention of Queen Victoria and is dispatched to the tropical islands of the Feejees to bring the light to the heathen and infamous giant cannibal Chief, Ratu Seru Cakobau.
A true story with an uncanny resemblance to the fable Jack and the Beanstalk!
