A review by ohnoflora
The undiscovered islands by Malachy Tallack

4.0

A really interesting and engaging potted history of islands that have never existed. A good companion book to [book:Pocket Atlas of Remote Islands|15131305], a potted history of islands that do exist but which you will never visit. Both books cover similar ground: the (Western) urge to explore, discover and claim new land; the desire for mystery, for there to be a corner of the map still a murky blank.
