Signed Victoria Hislop: Maria's Island - Illustrated by Gill Smith | Collectible Signed Book for Fans & Book Lovers | Perfect for Gifts, Reading & Display

SIGNED BY AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR, WHILE STOCKS LAST

The absorbing story of the Cretan village of Plaka and the tiny, deserted island of Spinalonga – Greece's former leper colony – is told to us by Maria Petrakis, one of the children in the original version of The Island. She tells us of the ancient and misunderstood disease of leprosy, exploring the themes of stigma, shame and the treatment of those who are different, which are as relevant for children as adults. Gill Smith's rich, full-colour illustrations will transport the reader to the timeless and beautiful Greek landscape and Mediterranean seascape.
