Romance and adventure amidst the sunlit sea - the stuff that dreams are made of - are the inspiration for a major new series, Island Dreams. Intended for today's travellers attracted by the sense of individuality imparted by the very notion of 'islands', the series combines spectacular illustrations by some of the world's leading travel photographers and 'spirit of place' commentaries.

    The most magical islands of the Mediterranean are beautifully evoked by photojournalist Jeremy Horner in this book the first volume of the series. Some, like Capri, are already well-know.
others, like Croatian Vis, or Brijuni in the Dalmatians, are just entering the consciousness of island travellers.

    'Velvet-green, rimmed with golden sands and set in shallow turquoise water's is Jeremy Horner's description of the islands off the coast of Istria. Here, Brijuni--once the private home of President Tito--is now one of the region's most exclusive hideaways. Hvar, a verdant ridege ridge rising out of the Adriatic, was once an outpost of the Venetian empire and consequently enjoys a legacy of elegant architecture, as does neighbouring Korcula, sometimes referred to as "Little Dubrovnik'. The main islands of the Bay of Naples--Capri and Ischia--have always been attractive to travellers from nothern Europe and America, and all their delights are fully reflected in this book. But what of Pricida, whose colourful fishing port of Corricella became famous as the setting for the film II Postino? Equally fascinating and lively are the Pontine, Aeolian and Egadi Islands, all represented here.

    Corfu, Rhodes and Mykonos have been included from the galaxy of Greek island gems, but so too have dilicious Santorini and the less familiar Zakynthos.
    Whether the desire is for an unspoilt coastline and an unrushed pace of life, or escape from the obvious, or Riviera sophistication without the accompanying over-development, everyone's dreams will be fully satisfied by the first book in this dazzling new series.
