The passionate story of a vet's care for all creatures great and small in the colorful, diverse, and distinctive South Atlantic islands. The role of a resident vet in the remote islands of the Falklands, St. Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha encompasses many wonderful complexities: caring for the world's oldest living land animal (a 200-year-old giant tortoise, denizen of the St. Helena governor's lawn); pursuing mystery creatures and invasive microorganisms; relocating herds of reindeer; and rescuing animals in extraordinarily rugged landscapes, from subtropical cloud forests to volcanic cliff faces. Hugely entertaining and affectionate, Jonathan Hollins's tales of island vet life are not only full of ingenuity and astounding fauna--they are also steeped in the unique local cultures, history, and peoples of the islands, far from the hustle of continental life. Come join Jonathan on his daily adventures with these alluring and fascinating creatures.
