When R.M. Lockley settled on Skokholm, an uninhabited island off
the Pembrokeshire coast, he was 24 years old. It was a boyhood
dream to be with birds and flowers in some remote place', to live
like Robinson Crusoe. But when war broke out in September 1939,
this dream island life had to be abandoned. Knowing he may never
return, Lockley began writing about the history and wildlife of his
beloved island. He sent what he wrote to his friend and
brother-in-law John Buxton - a naturalist captured by the Germans
in Norway in 1940. These letters to a prisoner-of-war, intended to
solace Buxton in his captivity, became Letters from Skokholm. Our
new edition includes the illustrations by C.F. Tunnicliffe that
appeared in the first edition. First published 1947 by J.M. Dent
& Sons.
