Herm – Our Island Home –

“This enchanting book is the true adventure story of the authoress, Jenny Wood, and her fight to turn her vision, of returning to a natural way of life, into reality.
With enthusiasm and determination Mrs Wood, her family of six, and a succession of willing helpers achieve the transformation of the island of Herm, one of the Channel Islands, from an overgrown wilderness to a thriving community and holiday resort.

Many ventures heart-breakingly collapse, but some succeed – from pottery and weaving to farming and building. The task is enormous, but the author’s vivacity, vigour and sense of humour are unflagging and combine to make this a fascinating book about an equally fascinating isle.”
