Listen to Blue Lagoon with a movie-style soundtrack and amplify your audiobook experience. Two shipwrecked children grow up on a South Pacific island. This beautiful story of adventure and innocent love was H.D. Stacpoole’s most popular work.

This is an extremely clever and entertaining story of lookalikes and the switching of identities! Our protagonist, a very poor American in England, meets his doppelganger, the wealthy Rochester in a fancy hotel. The two get along, but very soon the world announces the suicide of (the real) Rochester. From now on everything gets complicated, as the new Rochester falls in love with the old/real Rochester's woman...A very funny work but also a very astute social satire.
