The tiny Channel Island of Herm measures one and a half miles long by half a mile wide. This book comprises twelve short stories drawing on the island’s history, myths and legends – each evocative of an island location.

Paul Sherman’s eclectic mix includes a ghost story, an adventure story, a human-interest story, a comic story and much more. It’s best to read them in the locations they are set, but a chair by a warm fireside will do.
