Island Days

This book charts one man's extraordinary experiences in some of the most remote islands in the world.

Island Days contains a wealth of delightful recollections, pithy anecdotes and fascinating information on the exotic flora and fauna of these beautiful and extreme outposts. It stands as a remarkable account of an unusual life.
