| Some years back I was browsing
the web for information about George Novak aka Barefoot
Man (this link is also listed above). I noticed that Barefoot
had a comment on his site then in which he said his life changed drastically
when he was a teenager, after reading a book entitled An Island to Oneself
by Tom Neale. (Barefoot's site now includes only the comment, "find
an island with a strange name like Manihiki, Suwarrow or Rarotonga")
Neale had lived alone on the Pacific island of Suwarrow, in the Cook Islands
for a number of years and that sure sounded like something I really wanted
to read!
I used the information on
Neale's book to do a web search where I found the link (click on the picture
at right) and I heartily recommend it - and Tom's book - to you. |
