The Blue Lagoon is a romance novel written by Henry De Vere Stacpoole and was first published in 1908. It is the first novel of the Blue Lagoon trilogy, which also includes The Garden of God (1923) and The Gates of Morning (1925). Dicky and Emmeline Lestrange, stranded on a remote island with a beautiful lagoon. Growing up together since they were children, they eventually fall in love. Sex and birth are as mysterious to them as death, but they manage to copulate instinctively and conceive a child. The birth is especially remarkable: fifteen-year-old Emmeline, alone in the jungle, loses consciousness and awakes to find a baby boy on the ground near her. Naming the boy Hannah, the Lestranges live in familial bliss until they are unexpectedly expelled from their tropical Eden.

Stacpoole's often-filmed 1908 romance is a classic of lyrical beauty, as two children are castaway on a beautiful island and grow up there, innocent of the real world.
