Gathered in this books are two dozen islands once believed to be real but no longer on the map. These are the products of imagination, deception and human error: an archipelago of ex-isles and forgotten lands. From the well-known story of Atlantis to more obscure tales from around the globe, from ancient history right up to the present day, this is an atlas of legend and wonder, with glorious illustrations by Katie Scott. Critically acclaimed author Malachy Tallack takes the reader on fascinating excursion to the mysterious and forgotten corners of the map.
