Did you know? After the Civil War, a fine was imposed on Newport parents who allowed their children to play on a Sunday. Darwin began his world-famous book, On the Origin of Species, while staying at the Kings Head Hotel. There are twenty-one tourists to every Island resident. The Little Book of the Isle of Wight is a funny, fact-packed compendium of the sort of frivolous, fantasic or simply strange information which no one will want to be without. Tales of the Island's most eccentric inhabitants and literally hundreds of facts combine to make this required reading for locals and visitors alike. Illustrated with humorous cartoons and delivered with wit and flair, this captivating compendium is almost impossible to put down.
