The tale of Jemmy Button, a native of Tierra del Fuego, who in 1830 was bought from his uncle for the price of a mother-of-pearl button, brought to London, 'civilized' then sent back to his homeland to spread 'civilized' values and the message of God. "His book is fascinating, and indispensable for those interested in tragic clashes of culture." –Sunday Telegraph
