A population of two thousand people live on the four thousand acres. The climate is mild & sub-tropical plants grow there freely. In 1987, after visiting & photographing many British & Irish offshore islands, John Hunt decided to move out of inner city London & went to live on the Isles of Scilly. Islands Apart is '...a book of impressions. My impressions.' The eighty black & white photographs which make up this evocative collection are indeed impressive. The writing is friendly & unpretentious, taking the reader on a charming, sometimes quirky journey through the major islands as well as some of the lesser visited out-of-the-way islands.'
