And first of all I must tell you something about myself and how I came to meet the Doctor.įan of this book? Help us introduce it to others by writing a better introduction for it. In fact sometimes I almost think I ought to say that this book was written by Polynesia instead of me. If there is any happening I am not quite sure of, she is always able to put me right, to tell me exactly how it took place, who was there and everything about it. And, as every one who ever met her knows, Polynesia's memory is the most marvelous memory in the world. That wonderful bird (she is now nearly two hundred and fifty years old) sits on the top of my desk, usually humming sailor songs to herself, while I write this book. But whenever I am in doubt and have to hesitate and think, I always ask Polynesia, the parrot. Now of course, when I am quite an old man, my memory isn't so good any more.
