Long white beaches washed by a turquoise sea; rocks sculpted by wind, rain and sea-spray; exotic, subtropical plants; weather constantly changing, from storms lashing the coast, to sea mists with sun sparkling on the sea. This book captures the natural beauty of the Isles of Scilly, and gives a snapshot of their history.

‘really attractive and well produced... Full of striking images’ (Old Cornwall, XIV, 1, Autumn 2009)
‘So much has been written about the islands that some might argue there isn't room for yet another book of pretty pictures of Tresco gardens' exotica, a storm over the Western Rocks or a puffin with its beak stuffed with sand eels. And while there may be some truth in that view, there will always be room for photographs as accomplished and thoughtful as David Chapman's. ...
‘A guide which, at less than six inches square, fits any pocket, David Chapman's photographic celebration will serve as both an introduction to the magic of Scilly and a reminder of the islands' beauty when dewy-eyed holidaymakers return home.’ (Western Morning News, 25.04.09. Read the full review here.)
Our Pocket Cornwall books were shortlisted in the prestigious British Book Design and Production Awards 2008 in the Brand/Series identity category. The series was commended in the 2009 Holyer and Gof awards for the best Cornish books published in 2008. |
