Excerpt from The Isle of DreamsBut to write of Iona, there are many ways of approach. N 0 place that has a spiritual history can, to those who know nothing of it, be revealed by facts and descriptions. The approach may be through the obscure glens of another's mind and so out by the moonlit way, as well as by the track that thousands travel. I have nothing to say here of Iona's acreage, or fisheries, or pastures: nothing of how the islanders live. These things are the accidental. There is small difference in simple life anywhere. Moreover, there are many to tell all that need be known.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
