Frederick O'Brien (1869 - 1932) was the author of the 1919 travel book White Shadows in the South Seas. It is based on his experiences in the Marquesas Islands. His exotic account White Shadows ignites a popular interest in the South Pacific. He would subsequently publish two additional travel books about the region, Mystic Isles of the South Seas (1921) and Atolls of the Sun (1922). He is known as a islomaniac. His work is of interest to armchair travelers, amateur anthropologists and readers of cross-cultural studies.
