“Children of Borneo” provides valuable insight into the social customs, manners, and lives of the children of Borneo, the largest Island in Asia. The writer, Reverend Edwin Herbert Gomes, was an Anglican missionary in Sarawak at the beginning of the twentieth century. He talks about the children of Ibans, or Sea Dayaks, a branch of the Dayak people on the island of Borneo, in detail in this work, giving an idea of what things were like in those days.
