Overland To The Island
Tells the lively and frequently jaw-dropping story of Alan and Joan MacLeod's 1963 journey from Dunedin to the Isle of Sky in Scotland with their six children.
Wending overland through territories and cultures unfamiliar to most Westerners in 1963, the MacLeod's expedition attracted much media attention, but the complete story has not been told until now. Written by their granddaugher Hannah Bulloch, Overland to the Island is both an engrossing tale about a trek through a 1960s world since reshaped by politics and technology, and the author's quest to understand the emotional and personal impacts of this arduous undertaking.
Illustrated, with maps, and beautifully written, Overland to the Island is the remarkable story of a bold, eccentric and somewhat ramshackle famiily pilgrimage, navigating everything from stressed family dymanics to life-threatening danger witha. combination of fortitude, luck, naivety, Kiwi ingenuity, and - always - by making friends along the way.
