THE WIZARD ISLANDS
Illustrated by Robert Quackenbush
T. Y. Crowell 1973
ISBN# 0-690-89671-9 Crowell hardcover

A study of islands that have mysteries or ghost stories attached to them, and a section on disappearing or appearing islands, like Surtsey which is a volcanic island. Quackenbush used old maps and charts as well as drawings to illustrate the book. This was long a favorite of my son, Adam.

Out of print.

What reviewers have said: "It would be hard to conceive of a more satisfactory way to spend an afternoon or an evening than in the company of Jane Yolen as she tells spellbinding stories of ghost islands, mystery islands, and disappearing islands." --Publisher's Weekly
