Boothby Dan - Island Of Dreams A Personal History Of A Remarkable Place - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Dan Boothby had been drifting for more than twenty years without the pontoons of family friends or a steady occupation. He was looking for but never finding the perfect place to land. Finally unexpectedly an opportunity presented itself. After a lifelong obsession with Gavin Maxwell's Ring of Bright Water trilogy Boothby was given the chance to move to Maxwell's former home a tiny island on the western seaboard of the Highlands of Scotland. Island of Dreams is about Boothby's time living there and about the natural and human history that surrounded him; it's about the people he meets and the stories they tell and about his engagement with this remote landscape including the otters that inhabit it. Interspersed with Boothby's own story is a quest to better understand the mysterious Gavin Maxwell. Beautifully written and frequently leavened with a dry wit Island of Dreams is a charming celebration of the particularities of place.
