In a companion volume to his earlier books, Geoffrey Martin returns
to St Helena, a small island made famous by Napoleon but largely
unknown ever since. Here are more stories about the islanders and
the other characters who have ended up here, whether sent by the
United Kingdom to try and administer the island or just by fate.
The islanders remain as keen as ever to maintain their own way of
life and independence, and avoid the interference of their
technical masters overseas. These are gentle and light hearted
stories about the island and its inhabitants whether human or a
giant tortoise named Jonathan. The author captures both the spirit
and atmosphere of the place. Like revisiting an old friend this new
collection will once again take you back to a very small island in
the middle of a very large ocean.
