Summary
Balancing the natural and human history of Sable Island - a sandy island 300 kilometres off the coast of Nova Scotia - the authors describe everything from the tide and ocean currents to rumours of 'sequestered lunatics, hapless castaways, and… curious apparitions.' Also touched upon are the storms, the ghost stories, the wrecks, the continued existence of a bank of sand in the middle of the wind-blasted Atlantic, and of course, the famous horses and their continued survival. 2004.
