Island Dreams

Mapping an Obsession

Gavin Francis
Gavin Francis describes maps of islands as invitations ‘to indulge the imagination’ and ‘pace the dreamed perimeter’. Travelling to places as far-flung as Shetland and Isla del Sol in Lake Titicaca, Francis delves into how people – among them, Confucius, Alexander Selkirk and CS Lewis – have experienced and written about islands; he presents island maps old and new; and reflects on his own quest to resolve ‘the tension between isolation and connection’.
