Scilly at War

Paperback. Fine condition. Not Inscribed. 346 Pages. Many illustrations. The Scillies consist of a cluster of 55 small islands - and many more rocks - in an area of Atlantic Ocean about 7 miles by 5, and situated about 25 miles WSW of Land's End. Only five islands are inhabited, by a relatively prosperous population of around 2000 and the islands represent today a pleasant and different UK holiday location for visitors seeking to get away from crowds, crime, cars (including their own) and mainland concerns. In Scilly life seems a little closer to nature, but without sacrifice of the comforts of good hotels, pubs, guest houses, restaurants and cafes on the inhaited islands. The book is intended to complement The Fortunate Islands, the story of the Isles of Scilly and also The Standard Guidebook of the Isles of Scilly.
