About the author

Ronald Lockley was a Welsh naturalist and ornithologist, who wrote over fifty books on the natural world, including Dream Island, Island Days, Letters from Skokholm and The Private Life of the Rabbit, an important source for Watership Down.

Summary

Dream Island is an account of how, together with his wife Doris, Lockley moved onto the tiny island of Skokholm, four miles off the tip of Pembrokeshire, and just one mile long at its longest. The island had been uninhabited, apart from lighthouse keepers, since at least the beginning of the century.
