The King of Fassarai

[lovely copy, no discernible wear to book; jacket faintly edgeworn, one teeny-tiny nick at top of spine]. (illustrated endpapers) "A rich and robust tale set against the exotic background of the Pacific islands" [with] the elements that entranced the readers of 'Mr. Roberts' and 'Tales of the South Pacific.'" The story concerns a U.S. Navy doctor who's assigned to a quiet island "with orders to do something about the health of the native population" -- a task at which he succeeds so well that the people, in their gratitude, make him their King. Originally published "in large part" in The Saturday Evening Post, under the title "The Doctor of Unknown Island." The author, per the jacket blurb, also wrote under the name David Rame.
