"Island" is an evocative word - for one person it conjures up the magic of paradise, but for another isolation, even desolation. But islands have a romantic fascination whether they be sunlit, windswept, deserted or inhabited, mountainous or low against the sea. In writing this book, Leslie Thomas has fulfilled a lifetime ambition by journeying to and describing some of the world's most famous and romantic islands. His odyssey has taken him to islands in America, Europe, the Mediterranean, the Pacific, the Atlantic, Australia, the Orient and the Indian Ocean. He visited islands as distant and diverse as Tahiti, St Pierre et Miquelon and Oshima, as well as Capri and Corfu, often setting foot in odd places far away from the tourist trails. His personal account enables the reader to feel the special mystery and character of each unique island. Other travel books by Thomas include "Some Lovely Islands" and "The Hidden Places of Britain".
