Sir Arthur Grimble went to the Gilbert Islands as a cadet administrative officer in 1913 and became Resident Commissioner in the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony in 1926. He was transferred to the West Indies in 1932 and died in London on December 13, 1956. Grimble devoted much of his spare time in the Gilberts to collecting the myths, legends and oral traditions of the local people. Those recorded on this microfilm were collected between about 1916 and 1930
