A Book of Islands
- Publisher : G. Bell
- Published In : London
- Illustrations : 13 b/w photos, text figs
Description:
First edition. The author's delightful account of a lifetime's collection of visits to islands great and small from the Pacific to the Arctic brings them sharply to life. This is a travel book of an unusual kind, one man's miscellany of experiences linked by a common theme to which each episode returns; the enchantment of isolation and independence that lies behind the dream of an ideal island. The author is probably better known for his works on spiders, including the New Naturalist volume The Natural History of Spiders (1938).
