In this lavishly illustrated novel, modern-day explorer Hippolyte Webb sets out to find a mysterious group of islands-islands discovered by sailors of old but now seemingly vanished. His unforgettable voyage takes him not only through unfamiliar seas but also through the unfamiliar territory of his own mind and heart.
Hippolyte's Island is an enigmatic tale about bridging the space that lies between what we know and what we believe. Available in paperback, this novel of adventure and romance, richly illustrated with pages from Hippolyte's evocative travel journals, is a visual delight.
