"The mysterious coasts remained promises of ink on their navigational charts." This is an archipelago gathered as a tribute. Three hundred years after Defoe discovered the potential of an island as a driving force for storytelling, a team of 68 illustrators scattered across the globe shares, for the very first time, the contours and coasts of their own creations. Magical islands, embodying fears, fantasies, reflections, dreams, and escapes, are shaped through the double cartographic interplay traced by the suggestive illustrations of diverse styles and by the texts, which provide narratives for each of the fascinating emergent lands.
Chris Riddell invites the reader: "Imagine for a moment that you too are a castaway, like Crusoe, on a distant shore. What is it like? What can you find there? From these very questions, our artists mapped their beloved islands. As with stars during the day: even if we can't see them, it doesn't mean they're not there..." In the words of Huw Lewis-Jones: "There are almost half a million islands on our planet. Ideal islands seize the heart, fueled by stories and dreams."
