Free delivery available · Amazon buyer protection
In this fascinating history of two turbulent centuries in an apparently idyllic place, Shakespeare effortlessly weaves the history of this unique island with a kaleidoscope of stories featuring a cast of unlikely characters from Errol Flynn to the King of Iceland, a village full of Chatwins and, inevitably, a family of Shakespeares.
But what makes this more than a personal quest is Shakespeare's discovery that, despite the nineteenth century purges, the Tasmanian Aborigines were not, as previously believed, entirely wiped out.
