''A Swallows and Amazons adventure for the modern day by one of the most interesting travel writers working today'' Bijan Omrani, author of Caesar''s Footprints

''A headlong plunge into the deep, dark waters of the Lake District and its islandsPacked with curious historical facts, philosophical and literary footnotes'' Shaun Bythell, author of Diary of a Bookseller

Robert Twigger, poet, artist and travel author, is a lover of uninhabited islands. A lifelong passion for the Lake District led him to embark on a mission to visit all 36 islands of the region - some little more than rocks, some home only to wildlife, some the perfect spot for a night of wild-campingArmed only with an inflatable canoe, and inspired by Arthur Ransome, Wainwright, Wordsworth and other writers of the region, he journeys beyond the tourists and the busy roads, beneath the surface, to islands both real and remembered. Here the low tide of the unconscious reveals itself through the strange flotsam that it leaves on the shore - a new sense of discovery, about himself and the world we live in.
