"Wednesday the Tenth, A Tale of the South Pacific" by Grant Allen is a story that whisks readers off to an exotic place. The South Pacific is rarely used as a setting for stories from this time period because so few people ever made the voluntary trek to go there. Stories like this one weaved into the minds of readers and helped them visualize the islands and the ocean in ways a normal text would never be able to mimic. A fact that is still true today.
