Following the successful The Sound of Music Companion, comes The South Pacific Companion, the essential guide and history for the discerning musical lover and SP fanatic.

2008 marked the 50th anniversary of this wonderful film. This fascinating book covers the history of the stage show and its historical context.

World War II was fresh in the world's minds when this show first opened on Broadway - only 4 years after the end of the war - and this gave the film an immensely poignant immediacy. Deservedly, both the novel and the musical of South Pacific won the Pulitzer Prize.

With extensive images from the film, plus many never seen before photographs from the original stage show, this is a beautiful and indispensable guide to South Pacific, containing:

Over 100 wonderful images documenting the story of this Pulitzer Prize-winning book and musical
Features favourite lyrics and how the songs were written
A complete history tracks the key figures throughout World War II
Covers the stage show,movie and performances
