Island of Dreams
Autor Dan Boothbyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 apr 2016
Dan Boothby had been adrift for more than twenty years, looking for but never quite finding the perfect place to land. Finally, unexpectedly, an opportunity presented itself. After a lifelong obsession with Gavin Maxwell's Ring of Bright Water trilogy, Boothby was given the chance to move to Maxwell's former home, a tiny lighthouse island on the western seaboard of the Highlands of Scotland.
Island of Dreams is a charming celebration of this remote, sea-girt land; it is about Boothby's engagement with the natural world and the otters that surrounded him there, about the people he met and the stories they told; and it is about Boothby's own story, and his quest to better understand the mysterious Gavin Maxwell.
'The writing is as crisp as the coastal air, shot through with the humour of humanity and bright animal magic' Iain Finlayson, Saga
