{"product_id":"9780711034716","title":"Island Fever","description":"\u003cbr\u003eBritain’s big strength is that it is an island nation. However, we often forget that it boasts hundreds of smaller islands off its shores, each with a distinct character of its own. This book concentrates on the islands of England and Wales showing a mixture of contemporary photographs and archive material to capture the unique atmosphere of each island. Highlights include Steep Holm—a wonderfully preserved World War 2 time warp in the Bristol Channel; Flat Holm—a Welsh island with a cholera hospital and amazing fortifications; Lundy—a pirate haven that issues its own stamps; and Scillies—Britain’s own Hawaii. Also included are St Michael’s Mount—a tidal survivor of the mythical lost land of Lyonesse, with a working railway; Looe Island—subject of the book We Bought an Island; and Burgh island—a tidal with the world’s only sea tractor and a fantastic art deco hotel with Agatha Christie connections.","brand":"Allan, Ian Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057877729520,"sku":"9780711034716","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780711034716_p0.jpg?v=1763622346","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780711034716","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
