The Land of Maybe

In this excellent book, Ecott's evocative telling makes me want to go to this weird and wonderful place.

Préface
These dispatches from the wind and salt-blown islands at 62 degrees north offer delicious escapism. The Land of Maybe is a beautiful evocation of landscape and nature, as well as a portrait of a community which maintains a deep connection with its past.
