Adapted into a film starring Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins, this is a romance novel by Henry De Vere Stacpoole, first published in 1908. In the Victorian period, two young cousins, Richard and Emmeline Lestrange, and a galley cook, Paddy Button survive a shipwreck in the South Pacific and reach a lush tropical island. Paddy cares for the small children and forbids them by "law" from going to the other side of the island, as he found evidence of bloody human sacrifices. He tells them the bogeyman lives there. He also warns them against eating a certain scarlet berry that Emmeline finds. Paddy soon dies after a drunken binge. Now alone, the children go to another part of the island and rebuild their home. They survive solely on their resourcefulness, and the bounty of their remote paradise. With neither the guidance nor the restrictions of society, emotional feelings and physical changes arise as they reach puberty and fall in love.

I never believed in love, but I had an open mind to it. Day by day, I waited for my prince. Never did I even think my prince would be one of the most famous people in the world. I knew Elvis. Not only did I know him, but I loved him. No, I don't mean some insane fan-girl that screams at the merest sight of him. I mean, love. I knew him in a way, I didn't even know was possible. He was a mysterious man... Actually, I believe that is what drew us close to eachother. I'm writing this, because I want everyone to know what the man behind the rockin' pelvis was really like. -This story is based off of actual experiences my Grandma D had back in her 'kinder years'. I didn't believe her when I was younger, but after she died I found a diary and photos. It was the most tragic reality love story I've ever heard. I read her diarys as best I could, and I have decided to tell everyone about it! Please enjoy! (Sorry I couldn't really go into too much detail! Somethings I'm sure the Presley's would like to keep a secret, and this book would have been the longest book ever....I am in the process of editing though, so make sure you read again if you've already read!)
