About the book >.>.> A LITTLE Island set in the silver sea where the heat is never oppressive in summer where in winter flowers are always in bloom where there seldom come fogs frost or snow. An Island about fifty-six miles in circumference a day’s ride for a cyclist who loves to breast the gentle slopes of hills which never exhaust a rider who glories in coasting long descents with the restful or restless sea on the one hand and picturesquely rolling hills on the other hand; with many a pretty landscape of brown ridge and green valley dotted with quaint villa residences and farm-houses alive with sounds of animal life the air filled with songs of blackbirds lark and thrush. Such is in brief a vision of this Island home.
