Descripción

160 pages. Index. Bibliography. Fascinating black and white photographic plates. "Few people realize that until the beginning of this [the 20th] century the Hebridean island of St. Kilda, lying 110 miles west of the Scottish mainland, was inhabited by people who in many ways had more in common with the primitive tribes of the Amazon Delta than with the city-dwellers of their own country." - dust jacket. "This esoteric fragment of history is one of the most compulsively readable and alluring books I have perused in years." - dust jacket. Former library copy with usual markings and front free endpaper removed. Dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. Binding intact. A worthy reading copy. Book
