Fair Isle: through the seasons

[A] rather special book that puts this island, which inspires much fascination, in its context.

Everybody who loves islands will love this book crammed with such wonderful artistic landscapes. For those who have been to Fair Isle it's a must - it will bring memories flooding back. For the undecided - the book will help you make the obvious decision.

[T]his book is a photographic celebration of all the scenery, wildlife and culture that Fair Isle has to offer. A fantastic reminder to anyone who has visited, and a brilliant inspiration for anyone wanting to visit.

This is an attractive coffee table book that will both help introduce Fair Isle to potential new visitors and refresh the minds of old hands. The excellent, mostly colour, photography shows a large selection of cameos of island life, as well as appetite-whetting shots of the ‘obs’ and many rare birds.

The spectacular images are the work of Dave Wheeler, Mark Breaks, Deryk Shaw, Rebecca Nason and David Gifford and there is a multitude of photos which complement each season, showing every facet of island life, from past and present. The landscape and wildlife photography is particularly stunning.
