About the book >.>.> It is hoped that this book will provide a fresh and readable account of many of the most interesting aspects of the Isle of Wight. Apart from descriptions of the Scenery and Natural History special emphasis has been placed on the story of how the Island developed from a quiet backwater into a thriving holiday resort arca. The numerous colour and black and white illustrations are an essential element of the book as they vividly depict the scenery and way of life of Island residents a century or so ago. In view of the wealth of artistic talent that visited the Island in the 18th and 19th centuries there can surely be no more appropriate way of illustrating such a book. (SP)
