About this title

About the Author:

With publication of his first book in 1908, The Confessions of a Beachcomber, Banfield won international attention as a conservationist and defender of nature, a theme he continued in My Tropic Isle. An avowed disciple of Thoreau, Banfield sought simplicity in his own life but found in nature a rewarding complexity that never failed to "lift the day above the mundane."
