From the well-known story of Atlantis to more obscure tales from around the globe, gathered in this book are over twenty islands that have decidedly human origins, whether they are the products of imagination, deception or simply human error. They are phantoms, fakes and legends: an archipelago of ex-isles and forgotten lands.
A fascinating excursion around 20 islands that have decidedly human origins, whether they are the product of imagination, deception or simple human error. From the well-known, such as Atlantis, to the more obscure such as Antilla, Tallack's text is accompanied by full colour illustrations from Katie Scott.
