Five men survive a South Seas shipwreck and wash up on a seemingly deserted beach, only to discover that five beautiful, winged women inhabit the island. Dazzled and soon in love, the men will do anything to possess these flying women . . . but what they plan, and how the magical women respond, is tellingly—and predictably—human.

First published in 1914, and praised by Ursula K. LeGuin as “a real rediscovery—romantic, satiric, funny, fanciful, and a good read,” Angel Island is an adventure story and a genre-defining tale about women’s rights. 

This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the classic, timeless works that have stood the test of time and offer them at a reduced, affordable price, in an attractive volume so that everyone can enjoy them.

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1914 Edition.

1914. This is a fantastic tale of shipwreck. Five men, the only survivors of a tremendous storm, find themselves on an uninhabited island. They gather as much flotsam from the sunken ship as they can, and with no hope of rescue, begin a new life. One night, Billy finds himself wide awake, staring into the eyes of a woman. Thinking it is only a dream, he falls back into sleep. As the nights go by, the other men find themselves having the same "dream." But, one night they see what appears to be a group of five huge birds flying toward the island. As the birds come closer, the men are surprised to learn the birds are really five beautiful, winged women. These winged women never come close enough to the ground to be captured, so the men devise a plan to catch them. Who are these women? Do they bring joy or danger?
