The Books of Islands Reviewed in the Daily Express Island Fling
Armchair adventurers will find oodles of inspiration in The Book of Islands. Published next month, it's a gorgeous hardback book in which travel writers Philip Dodd and Ben Donald take readers on a voyage around 200 islands near and far. The entries span the oceans from east to west, organised in degrees of longitude. Illustrated with more than 350 colour photographs, each entry is accompanied by an evocative essay and quotations. A perfect gift for hard-to-by-for travelling types or a treat to be treasured all to yourself. |
