An atlas of legend and wonder, of places discovered then un-discovered: two dozen islands once believed to be real but no longer on the map. These are the products of imagination, deception and simple human error, phantoms and fakes - an archipelago of ex-isles and forgotten lands. From the well-known story of Atlantis to more obscure tales from around the globe, from ancient history right up to the present day. Malachy's Tallack's words are accompanied by glorious full-colour illustrations by Katie Scott, illustrator of the bestselling Animalium and Botanicum.
