Tales of the South Seas is a 1998 Australian TV series[3] loosely based on Jack London's 1912 novel A Son of the Sun.
Set at the turn of the 20th century, Tales of the South Seas follows David Grief, captain of The Rattler, and his Polynesian friend and partner, Mauriri Lepau, on their adventures in the Pacific South Sea Islands. After helping to prove her innocence after she was falsely accused of murder, they are often joined by Isabelle Reed, a stable owner on the island.
