Beschreibung
In this fascinating history of two turbulent centuries in an apparently idyllic place Shakespeare effortlessly weaves the history of this unique island with a kaleidoscope of stories featuring a cast of unlikely characters from Errol Flynn to the King of Iceland a village full of Chatwins and inevitably a family of Shakespeares. But what makes this more than a personal quest is Shakespeare's discovery that despite the nineteen century purges the Tasmanian Aborigines were not as previously believed entirely wiped out.
