Norman Douglas is best known for his travel books. After being jailed in England for inappropriate behavior with young boys, Douglas decided an extended trip to the Mediterranean would be in order. The setting is an imaginary island off the Italian coast. The island is famed for lobsters and young woman. The south wind is blamed for any troubles the inhabitants encounter.

About the Author:
Norman Douglas lived a long and scandalous life. Born in 1868, the son of a Scottish father and Austrian mother, he was a lifelong hedonist, and spent much of his time "hopping it" across borders to avoid arrest. Douglas was at once the most irascible, intolerant and kindest of men. He was also a writer of near-genius. He died in 1952.
Foreword writer Jan Morris is an acclaimed writer, whose many books (there are more than 30) include Venice, Oxford and much travel writing. Her latest novel, Hav, was published in 2006. She lives in Wales.
