Product Description

'Coracle', the journal of the Iona Community - October 1999

'Iona - Sacred Spectacular Living', is a visual delight. Not only in the range and particularity of its colour photographs but also in the inclusion in oil and watercolours, sketches and engravings, of a painterly perspective. The section on the wildlife of the island is a vivid illustration of George MacLeod's 'whole earth crying glory'.


Magazine of the Diocese of Chichester - Autumn 1999

This is a very fine book and most beautifully illustrated with many colour photographs, drawings, maps and diagrams. If you have visited Iona and would like a memory this is ideal; if you have never visited then this will whet your appetite. The text runs to some 20,000 words and covers the sacred history and the people of the island both past and present, the wildlife, surrounding area, and even touches on the geology. There does not seem to be any aspect of the island and its life, which has been omitted. The text is direct and very well written by someone who clearly loves the island and has expressed that in research and much hard work to do justice to a very special place to the Church in Britain.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Visual Delight, 19 May 2003
By A Customer
This is an exquisite book that far exceeds the imparting of information. It is indeed "fine art ". The photographs, maps, art and quality of paper are elegant. I was pleased to discover many photos that I do not have and wanted from my 2001 visit to Iona, as well as 'those of yore' that bring back memories of the King George V steamer and the unfinished abbey in 1954, my first visit. It represents a superb job of assembling a variety of images and perspectives. This is more than a tourist guide of landmarks and religious history as it also includes the natural beauty of birds, flowers and sea creatures, and life on the island. Even the inside cover is an artistic delight! Having already purchased Mr. de Watteville's STAFFA, I was especially eager to have this work. With 123 pages it is an excellent value, despite exchange rate and postage, because of its quality. Family and friends not only pick it up to peruse, but become engrossed in the text as well. This book is indeed a tribute to the spectacular isle of Iona.
