‘At the first page I opened I knew I had found a partner. British photography has not had a more poetic interpreter of ancient land-scape, of its light and moods and forms, for many years, and I doubt a more painstaking one.'
Obviously each artist has approached the subject in a very different way, yet something has happened in the fusing of their talents and their impressions which goes far beyond what even they had expected. Fay Godwin's images in Islands were photographed in the Scillies and John Fowles begins his extraordinary essay there too, though as he explains: "This is much more about the Scillies of a novelist's mind; and beyond them about the mysteries, symbolic and real, of all similarly situated small islands; about their silences, their otherness, their magic and their mazes, their eternal waiting for a foot to land.?”
